Sector Briefing on Digital Inclusion
Digital technologies are now taking a key role in our economic and social life, yet large numbers of people don’t have the on-line access to help them with job hunting, education and training, social interaction and other supports that could improve their lives.
Recent digital inclusion mapping indicates that South Australia rates significantly behind the national average. This session will cover essential questions such as why digital inclusion matters and which groups are most affected in South Australia, and what we can do about it.
You are invited to attend a one hour briefing starting at 10am with Professor Julian Thomas from RMIT (author of the Australian Digital Inclusion Index 2016) and other experts, including Q&A and morning tea.
The session will be followed by the media launch of SACOSS' 2017/18 Budget Submission (which also focuses on digital inclusion).
