Program 1 — For older Australians

Digital Literacy for Seniors

Some older Australians are deterred from using the internet, despite knowing the convenience it offers for staying connected and managing daily life. Lack of knowledge, skills, confidence and security concerns are the main barriers.

To help older Australians get online confidently and securely, Sikh Community Connections works with Good Things Foundation, a strategic partner that specialises in digital connection and education, as part of the Be Connected program.
