Welcome to Apple-Q!

Since 1979, Apple-Q has been helping people to learn about their computers, originally with the revolutionary Apple ][ series, then the Mac and now, with the phenomenal popularity of their iOS devices: the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch; as well as Apple TV and online streaming services. We’re seeking new ways to assist as we move into the era of wearable tech with the Apple Watch and Vision Pro with more to come…

We are one of the world’s oldest and longest running training organisations that specialises in Apple devices and associated software.

We offer a range of services to club members to help you to get the most from the Mac and iOS including demonstrations on a range of topics plus one-on-one assistance, training on apps as chosen by members, a monthly magazine, free software download links and inexpensive devices to enhance your Apple experience. Meetings and training days are held online via our Apple-Q Meeting Server (using Discord). Monthly meetings are usually held on the third Sunday of each month. Free training days for members are normally one week after club meetings. No meetings are held in December.

There is also an extensive range of over 1000 publications:

[Our main site contains recent publications – the full collection is available from our Cloud Server (members only)]

Meetings currently being held on-line:

Due to problems finding a suitable meeting place we are currently holding our meetings on-line via our Apple-Q Meetings Server.

Most of out members are in Brisbane, Australia – however we also have members in Toowoomba, Sydney, Melbourne, as well as New Zealand, UK and Asia.

If anyone knows of an alternative meeting site (preferably near our previous site at MacGregor & close to M1/M3) please contact the President.
