Telstra – broadband for seniors

Telstra (ACS industry supporters) has made ACS aware of a new initiative – Broadband for Seniors, which is part of a wider Australian Government initiative ‘Making Ends Meet – Plan for Older Australians, People with Disabilities and Carers’.

Broadband for Seniors aims to provide older Australians with access to computers and the internet via free internet kiosks, support seniors to gain confidence and skills in using new technology, address the issue of older Australians feeling isolated and ‘left behind’ in the technological age and build community participation.

There are currently 11 ‘live kiosks’ in South Australia, including retirement homes and residential facilities. The project finishes in June 2011.

For further information please visit the website, email or call 1300 795 897.
