Digital skills program creates major value for community and connects more older Australians
The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) and Good Things Foundation Australia welcome a recent social impact report by Swinburne University of Technology, which finds the Australian Government’s Be Connected initiative to help older Australians connect safely online has created significant value for people in that age group.
The program has reached more than double the expected number of older Australians and has also had benefits for the wider community.
The evaluation found that the Be Connected program, funded by the Department of Social Services (DSS) and delivered by eSafety and Good Things Foundation, created a social return on investment of $4.01 for every $1 invested.
