Local Engineers, Not a Call Centre
Most of Queensland’s peak bodies, unions and professional associations are headquartered in Brisbane, alongside state agencies, universities and hospital and health services. That’s where we’re based too.
Beyond Brisbane, each South East Queensland region has its own mix: the Sunshine Coast’s health and knowledge cluster, Toowoomba’s agribusiness and member-owned organisations, and the fast-growing community and logistics sectors of Logan and Ipswich.
What they share is websites and systems holding personal information, often built years ago by developers who have since moved on.

Brisbane: associations, peak bodies and state agencies, including Drupal and GovCMS sites ahead of Drupal 10’s end of life in December 2026.
Sunshine Coast: health, research and education organisations around the Kawana health precinct and UniSC, and the clinics and providers that hold sensitive patient information.
Toowoomba and the Darling Downs: agribusiness, member-owned organisations and regional health and education providers. Logan and Ipswich: community organisations, not-for-profits and growing logistics and manufacturing businesses.
We meet in person where it helps and work remotely the rest of the time, with the same engineers from first call to ongoing support.
