Our Labor government is making it easier for older Australians to stay connected to family and friends and to access information by providing a further $9.9 million to upgrade the popular Broadband for Seniors kiosks across the country. More than 250,000 older Australians have already benefited from the Broadband for Seniors program and access more than 2,000 internet kiosks for seniors around the country. The Keeping Seniors Connected program will provide every Broadband for Seniors kiosk in the country, if they apply, with a new computer and touchscreen monitor. This initiative will also provide $2,000 in grant money to seniors kiosks to boost training and information sessions for older Australians, particularly on the importance of cybersecurity and personal security.
