About Us
Many older Australians struggle to keep up with Smartphones, Tablets and Computers.
Switched on Seniors uses a model which combines continuous learning with group interaction and knowledge sharing among peers that can help to overcome this.
Participants learn, connect, share information, and support each other, creating an environment where anyone who needs tech help can learn the skills and gain confidence to use mobile tech devices. This helps them stay connected with friends, family, essential services and the wider world.
