What We Do
We help seniors use digital technology to do whatever they need to. Whilst technology is an integral part of what we do, our primary focus is on the social wellbeing of elders who, unlike younger people who use digital technology to stay connected, risk becoming isolated as they age. We exist to ensure seniors and others remain independent, connected and engaged through digital inclusion. In our community, in aged-care centres, in homes and online, from Bulli to Bega to Bundanoon, our experienced team of digital mentors help thousands of people learn to use their digital devices to improve their quality of life.
Why We're Here
The digital revolution has changed our lives. We keep in touch with family and friends, do our banking and shopping, navigate our streets, interact with government, and entertain ourselves online. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to this revolution or the skills to take advantage of it. We’re especially concerned about seniors who don’t have family or friends to help them use digital technology and navigate the online world. As more and more crucial services are moved online and less in-person help is available, we believe it’s even more important that seniors are supported in learning digital technology.
How We Help
We believe needs should come before technology and learning should be tailored to individuals. You should be able to learn what you want, on your device, at the place of your choosing. To that end, you can get help at one of our many public drops-ins, in your home, or online. We cater to all levels and work one-on-one or in small groups. No matter the environment or the situation, you’ll receive personalized help from a friendly, supportive mentor.
