Training may be either one to one, or in small classes, depending on your preference. Hours are flexible, and usually no more than one half day per week.
You need to be confident enough in your knowledge of technology to teach others. Previous teaching experience is an advantage but more important is the ability to communicate with and encourage older learners.
We offer a friendly, supportive learning environment and provide equipment and administrative support so you can focus on helping your learners.
Our goal is to help our club members become more confident in using technology so they can maintain their independence and fully participate in their community.
All trainers receive initial induction training and ongoing support. Our volunteers are all over 55 years old, as our members prefer learning from people their own age. Volunteers must join our Club as members ($20 joining fee plus $50 per annum membership).

If you have the space and time to look after a pet, or if you would like a pet of your own but your situation doesn't allow it long term, then foster caring might be for you.
We place 1-2 suitable rescue animals with each carer. You look after it in your own home as if they were your own pet until we can find a permanent new home for the pet. This may take a number of months so a serious commitment is required.
We pay for all veterinary expenses but you pay for the food and kitty litter.
We have a great support network amongst our carers and you are never forced to take a pet you might be uncomfortable with and we are there to help if any issues or problems arise.
Foster caring is a great way to save a life and be rewarded with the love and appreciation that comes from a rescued dog or cat and their happy new family.
