Our story
GreyClick started with a simple observation: the people who have the most to gain from technology are often the ones locked out of it.
I kept seeing it around me — older people missing out on things most of us take for granted. A video call with grandkids. Booking a doctor online. Knowing whether a text message is a scam. The help that was available often cost money, moved too fast, or made people feel embarrassed for asking.
That didn't sit right with me. Technology should bring people closer together, not leave them behind. So I started GreyClick: free, patient, one-on-one help for pensioners across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, delivered by local volunteers who take the time to do it properly.
I'm a student, and I don't pretend to have all the answers. What I do have is time, patience, and a growing group of people who want to help. GreyClick brings those people together with members of our community who'd like a hand.
Over the next couple of years, I want GreyClick to be the name people trust when someone they love needs help with technology — a session in every community that wants one, and no one paying a cent for it.

GreyClick is run by volunteers. Any money we receive goes towards running sessions — things like printed guides, volunteer training and screening. We don't pay ourselves from donations.
As a registered charity, we report to the ACNC each year. Our governing documents and annual reports will be published here as they're finalised.

Rhys started GreyClick after seeing how often older people were left out of the digital world. He leads our sessions, trains our volunteers and answers every email himself.
GreyClick is growing, and we're always glad to meet people who want to help. See our volunteer page if that sounds like you.
