 The last month at the SWADE desk has been extremely productive for Tik, working on both WA and NT Be Connected, Capacity Building projects. Tik and Ursula have both been speaking with the team at Victoria Daly Regional Council in the NT since Get Online Week last year, and the Council has just applied for their first round of funding for a Be Connected pilot project to be held in their Library and recreation space at Pine Creek, just south of Darwin. Last month Ursula made the hard decision to step down from her role within ASCCA’s Be Connected project in the NT, due to her other work and study commitments. She worked hard in the Top End to promote the causes of ASCCA and Be Connected and will be sadly missed. Consequently, ASCCA is currently seeking someone based in the NT who might be interested in picking up some of her tasks. Meanwhile in WA, our Four Peaks Partnership project is still on track, having hosted another Zoom session on the last Monday of March - and adding another six new Digital Mentors to the tally. Natika has been spending her time following up the Digital Mentors she’s trained to see how they're tracking with their Be Connected projects.  L to R - Hazel Harris - Williams CRC, Nick Donovan (wants to volunteer), Emma Brent-White - Brockman HouseNeighbourhood Centre, Michael Watkins - Brockman House, Di Clausen - St Ives North Shore Lifestyle Village.

Lead Digital Mentors, Mark Young and Jean Martin have well and truly filled their tutoring appointments, even in the uncertain COVID-19 times of delivery in a manner that this time last year was virtually untried, especially out of ASCCA in Sydney. Both are to be commended for their innovative initiatives, and commitment to ensure Seniors wishing to learn technology were catered for as best we could.

ASCCA was honoured to have been an official supporter of the digital inclusion plan. SWADE WA had a lovely virtual morning tea with some of our Western Australian potential new network partner representatives, from the 4 Peak Body Project, to celebrate. Both virtual morning teas offered the opportunity to spruik the benefits of the #BeConnectedAU project.
