We had had another antenna service company and an electrician out to try to sort out our ongoing problem with poor reception - but neither of them did. Gordon from Australian Antenna’s came (on time), identified the problem straight away and immediately fixed it. We wasted too much time and money going elsewhere. Cannot recommend them more highly.

Kevin came out today and did a great job, very nice. They called 30mins out and came on time. Took time to check everything before quoting job. Prices are great. Not afraid to crawl under the house 🙃😄. Thanks Kevin.

The company was very professional in dealing with us. Booking was done instantly and named the service person that was coming. Reminded us of the booking the day before. Anthony who was the service man called to say he was coming in 15 mins. Checked our problem and recommended what was needed. He was very good and efficient with what he was doing. Very friendly and respectful. TV now works perfectly thanks to Anthony and Australian Antennas.I would recommend this company anytime.* * * * *

From the first contact with the Office to the installation technician the service was friendly but very professional. Questions were answered simply and accurately. The technical support was excellent, in fact a service that I call " old fashioned ", prompt clean and accurate.I highly recommend this company and they will be my and my family's "go to" for Antenna or Security installation.

Australian Antennas are a most professional and genuinely caring company. Matt and Lynne were so helpful in answering my questions about my particular problem and time expected for my call out, nothing was too much of a problem with regard to my enquires.Stephen arrived as expected and spent 5 hours trying to sort out my antenna, cable etc problems. It was complex, my house is over 100 years old. He is a gem! Explained all my technological issues in clear speak and gave me a number of honest options. Stephen resolved all, particularly, my biggest problem no ABC TV ! A delightful, experienced young man with an empathetic and truly friendly nature. Also was so generous in not charging me fore many extra hours spent on my roof. Thank you so much Stephen. A pleasure to have met you. Australian Antenna's are lucky to have such a professional and lovely employee. Jill Thomas in Seddon

First spoke with Lyn who was extremely helpful. She arranged a time with me. On the day of installation of aerial point I received a call to advise a time that the installer was expected to arrive and then within the time frame advised Anthony arrived and was very helpful and professional in his communication and advice. I cannot fault the service I’ve received from Australian Antennas.

The entire process of obtaining a quote, and arranging for a technician was extremely easy. The staff were very responsive and arranged for a technician to attend our site within the same week.We had Anthony come out to install the Antenna, and he took great care in completing the installation, along with testing all the TV points. I'd highly recommend Australian Antennas.

Highly recommend Australian Security and Antennas.The service provided by Matt the technician when installing my security system was absolutely brilliant. Diligent, thorough and high quality, not to mention polite, courteous and patiently answered all my silly questions. He is knowledgeable in the products he installs and was extremely helpful when I had problems (user issues not system) and came out again to assist. Matt the owner also provided excellent customer service, making time for me when ever I called. This company actually cares about their customers!

On time, quick response, relocated aerial and improved signal strength for channels 2 and 10. Submitting a photo of the finished work was great. May consider including the bearing used for aerial orientation as part of the finished report/invoice.

Hidden dangers every parent needs to beware of when it comes to digital safety.

Brand: Australian Antennas
Rating: 4.9 (115 reviews)

The digital age that we live in nowadays is one of the greatest eras in human history. People have been able to connect and share information in a way that has never been seen before. Several digital mediums exist for people to consume information. Televisions, computers, tablets, phones and e-readers are just a few of the popular ways that we consume our digital media. With all the benefits that has come with the digital era, we are also faced with a new set of problems. The biggest concern is how the ease of accessibility of digital information and communication impacts children. There are hidden dangers that the parents of today are still learning. Ask yourself the following question.

Do you really know what your kids are getting up to these days?

In the past, people were mainly concerned with their whereabouts and the people that they would hang around. Nowadays, children are exposed to many different things that can influence or affect their behaviours for better or for worse. We live in a digital age and it is essential that we are diligent in the activities that children are getting up to. There is the possibility that they are exposed to serious threats without parents or guardians knowing. That is why the team from Australian Antennas have provided a summary of things to be aware of to keep kids safe in the digital age.

The threats are very real.

Online predators are capitalising on young people’s naivety across digital devices. They are luring children on platforms using the Internet, such as social media platforms, chat rooms, web forums and instant messaging. People have been creating awareness to highlight and alert parents and guardians to the digital dangers that threaten children. YouTuber Coby Persin highlighted the issue with a social experiment that amassed over 40 million views. You can watch the full video below.

Online bullying

Online bullying is a serious problem in the 21st century. Online bullies will purposely use hate speech to victimise their target, which can lead to anxiety, traumatic stress and even drive children to commit suicide. 52% of young people say they have experienced cyber bullying via their cell phone and on the internet and up to 55% of cyberbullying was cited as being done through social media.

If your child is or has suffered from online bullying, you can advise your children to take the following actions.

Don’t respond to the bully.
Don’t retaliate.
Save the evidence
Block the bully.
Reach out for help.
Report the bully to the right authority.

This factsheet from the Australian Human Rights Commission can help parents and others in the support group to help people deal with cyberbullying.

Predators

Online predators may solicit children to engage in indecent activities or even lure them into traps. Children may engage in conversations with strangers over the web through private messages and chat rooms. The threats these predators pose is high, since they may lure, blackmail, abuse or kidnap their targets in the real world.

What steps can parents take to improve the safety of their children?

It is the responsibility of parents to talk to their children about what kind of content they are allowed to access. Communicate the responsibilities and expectations of your children when they are using the Internet. Openly discuss the type of content they are allowed to access and what type of content they are prohibited from viewing.

Monitor your children’s online activities.

Parents need to be vigilant and monitor websites, video games, social media, apps and website content that they are being exposed to. Monitoring everything is challenging. The better surveillance you give your child, the more protected your children will be from digital threats. There are several ways you can achieve this.

Designate times when your children can access the internet.
Teach them privacy.
Advise them not to speak to any strangers on the web.
Advise them only visit websites that you permit them.
Advise them not to share any sensitive details about themselves.
If they feel concerned about anything, they should speak to an adult.

What are some methods parents can use protect their children from digital dangers.

It is important that parents maintain censorship control to protect their children from being exposed to indecent content or interacting with the wrong kind of people online. Parents can make ISPs, search engine filters and web browsers their ally in order to provide a ‘kid friendly zone’ when children are on the Internet. Some solutions include:

Cyberpatrol 6.2 – A web tool that can help monitor and manage online activity.
Kidsnet – whitelists sites that children are allowed to visit.

Child safety is more important than ever since access to inappropriate content is only a click away. Parents need to be vigilant when it comes to the content that their children are viewing on the web. Take action to minimise your children’s exposure to inappropriate content and make them aware of your expectations on how they should use the Internet.
