Senior Citizens will be the key beneficiaries of a ‘Click with Confidence’ cyber security workshop being hosted by Southern New England Landcare and the New England Community College in Guyra on the 11th of June.

Designed to boost confidence and safety when using the internet this free workshop will include a short talk, morning tea, and one-on-one help with devices.

“‘Click with Confidence’ has been designed to provide some of our most vulnerable groups with added safety and security online”, said Elizabeth Rosser, Local Landcare Coordinator with Southern New England Landcare.

“Participants will learn practical skills such as setting up multifactor identification, keeping software up to date, creating strong and unique passphrases, and recognising and reporting phishing scams,” said Elizabeth.

“The session is tailored for anyone who would like to feel more confident with the increasing requirement to be connected online and aims to make online safety simple and accessible,” she said.

Southern New England Landcare received funding through the ‘Act Now, Stay Secure’ program being rolled out by the Australian Government.

“Thank you to the New England Community College, who have been instrumental in designing these workshops”, said Elizabeth.

”New England Community College provide a valuable service to the community, and Southern New England Landcare are pleased to be working with them to deliver this initiative,” she said.
