This year marked the eighth anniversary of our program, and we were thrilled to welcome over 100 attendees to the celebration! It was a fantastic opportunity to come together, reflect on our journey, and celebrate the strides we’ve made in digital inclusion.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to City of Vincent, Be Connected and Good Things Foundation. Your continued support and partnership have been instrumental in empowering our community with digital skills and access.
We were privileged to hear from two inspiring speakers:
Mark Kinsella from COTAWA (Council on the Ageing WA) shared valuable insights into the benefits of e-prescriptions, highlighting how technology is transforming healthcare access for older Australians.
Syed from the Department of Transport spoke about the importance of engaging online and how digital tools simplify everyday tasks-from renewing licenses to accessing essential services.
