Be Connected is an Australian Government initiative aimed at increasing confidence, skills and online safety for older Australians when they use the internet and everyday technology.
The CTC Robertson is a Be Connected Partner and will be offering regular free weekly sessions for local residents over the age of 50 to build their digital skills and knowledge. Learning takes place in a friendly and relaxed environment where learners can go at their own pace and receive support from our Digital Mentors.

* Being safe while online
* Setting up an email address, MyGov account and online banking
* Shopping online, safely and securely, without leaving home
* Learning about the NBN and how to get the most out of your account
* Staying up to date with what’s happening in your community and around the world
* Talking to or seeing family and friends who live far away, more often
Be Connected has a range of resources that have been specially designed to support older Australians get online.
Be Connected Sessions will be free and will be offered one afternoon per week during school terms (starting date to be confirmed soon).
