Be Connected is an Australian government initiative committed to increasing the confidence, skills and online safety of older Australians. Be Connected aims to empower everyone to use the internet and everyday technology to thrive in our digital world.
Through the Be Connected online resources, Australians will be able to learn the basics of using digital devices and engaging with the internet, including:
being safer while online
talking to or seeing family and friends who live far away
finding new friends who share interests and hobbies
connecting with old friends
keeping up to date with what’s happening in communities and around the world
shopping and selling online, safely and securely.
Be Connected is not just a website; it is a national movement working across Australia, within communities, to help people with their digital skills.
