Minimum 3 hours per week until June 2022 The program

The ‘Digital in WA’ project is a new community initiative at the Australian Red Cross with the aim of enhancing women refugees’ confidence and participation in the digital space. The program will run women workshops to support clients to learn skills and techniques that enable them to engage safely and effectively with online technology.

Red Cross will apply its client-centered, strengths-based approach to deliver a series of workshops on areas of learning identified by our clients, such as online safety, online banking and how to access government services such as MyGov and My Health Record.
