Advocating for community digital inclusion in the upper mountains
We have been running for ten years, and we serve all the small communities at the top of the mountains, from Medlow Bath to Mt. Irvine.
We happily accept students from further afield too.
We are a national Be Connected network partner. This service is overseen by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner.
Individual classes for over-50s are delivered 1-to-1 and YOUR FIRST FOUR one-hour classes are FREE.
For anyone registered for Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) these classes continue free – as a BANC social support initiative.
