The weekly Seniors Tea and Tech Program continues to make a meaningful impact within the community, providing local seniors with the opportunity to build confidence and skills in using modern technology in a supportive and welcoming environment.

The program has been proudly supported through the Age-Friendly Communities Connectivity Grants Program, funded by the Department of Communities. This financial support has enabled the delivery of practical and engaging technology sessions tailored specifically to the needs of local seniors.

Throughout the program, participants have taken part in a range of informative sessions designed to improve digital confidence and everyday accessibility. Topics included cyber security awareness and scam prevention, navigating the Emergency WA app, using the online IGA shopping app, accessing and navigating various aspects of the Shire website, and learning how to book tickets and register for events online using QR codes and website links.

In addition to group sessions, the program has also provided individual one-on-one support, allowing participants to receive assistance with personal devices, applications, and online tasks at their own pace.

Attendance numbers and ongoing community feedback have clearly demonstrated that this program has been highly valued and greatly needed by locals. Many participants have reported increased confidence in using technology, improved access to online services, and a stronger sense of connection with both community information and family networks.

The next Tea and Tech session will be held at 10:00am on Wednesday 10 June 2026.
