Not everyone wants to be "online" - but sometimes you need to be.

If you need to do something online and don't know where to start - our Digital Literacy Outreach program is here to help.  You can bring your device along to our drop-in sessions or call Moya on (03) 5355 0232 to make an appointment just to sit down and have a chat about it.  If you are struggling with technology, we can help.

We are here to help with things like:

  • what to do if you have been caught in a data breach
  • setting your Facebook security so that you only share photos with those you choose
  • whether your antivirus software is doing what you want 

Internet basics

  • what is “the cloud” and how to use it
  • what do all these buzzwords actually mean anyway
  • what is the difference between WiFi and data
  • how to use a search engine
  • how to send an email


Smartphones, tablets, and other devices

  • what’s the difference between a tap, swipe, scroll, or long tap?
