Free Broadband Internet Kiosk
Following a comprehensive assessment, Mundaring Sharing has been selected as a host venue for a free Broadband for Seniors Kiosk to service the local seniors community.
The Mundaring Sharing Broadband for Seniors Kiosk comprises two computers with free broadband internet access for use by older members of the local community.
Opening hours
The kiosk is located at 3 Craigie Place (off Phillips Road), Mundaring. And is open from 9am to 3pm on weekdays during school terms. To book a free session phone 9295 1688.
Broadband for Seniors is part of a $15m Australian Government initiative to increase the skills of older Australians using computers and the internet. The Government is employing the skills of NEC Australia to manage and deliver the project, along with its consortium partners: Adult Learning Australia, Australian Seniors Computer Clubs Association and U3A Online.
The aim is to get seniors in our community better connected,
enabling them to discover a whole new social experience on the web
and to help them to stay in touch online with friends and family,
along with offering access to the wealth of information available
online.
According to David Cooke, Group Manager, NEC Australia: “The Broadband for Seniors initiative not only provides free access to computers and broadband, but offers training in order to increase the confidence and skills of older Australians in using computers and the internet. This can help to build their community participation and levels of social inclusion and will address the issue of older Australians feeling isolated and ‘left behind’ in a technological age.
“NEC is leading the way to establish connected communities in Australia and Broadband for Seniors is a key part of this commitment. Along with our learning partners, we hope to establish a widely recognised education initiative to really improve the way seniors obtain information.”
