Protect your kids online with safer settings.
Social media rules are changing in Australia and harmful content is only one tap away. I help Adelaide parents lock down home Wi-Fi and kids’ devices so they can scroll, study and chat with age-appropriate, safer access.
Most homes are not set up for the new social media rules. One visit can bring your family up to speed and give you more peace of mind.

Reviews
Real feedback from local parents.
“I was so happy with the service Owen provided in setting up parental controls on my kids devices. He talked me through options, based on the limitations I chose to implement. He was very polite and efficient and arrived exactly on time. For the less tech savvy parents out there, I highly recommend you give Owen a call!”

How a home visit works
Calm, simple and transparent – I sit beside you, explain each step and leave you in control.
You reach out
Call, SMS or send a message with your suburb, kids’ ages and how many devices you’d like covered.
We choose a package
We decide together which package fits your family – under-16s, turning 16, or a device hardening bundle.
I secure your network & devices
I come to your home, configure the router and devices, and test everything with you on the spot.
You get clear next steps
You’ll leave with simple instructions and the confidence that things are locked down – with the option to book follow-ups later.
Who is Honest Owen?
A local uni student who takes kids’ safety seriously.
I’m Owen Cooper, a 20-year-old Mechanical Engineering student in Adelaide. I’ve always loved technology – I built my first PC at 17 and have been the “family IT person” ever since.
After helping my own family lock down devices for younger siblings and grandparents, I realised how overwhelming online safety feels for busy parents. Most guides are too technical and most people don’t have hours to dig through router settings and safety apps.
Honest Owen Tech Support exists to fill that gap: a friendly person who comes to your home, sits beside you and quietly locks things down so your kids can explore the internet with more safety – and you can sleep a little easier.
