What is First Click?

The State Government is sponsoring free computer literacy lessons for first-time users of computers under the 'First Click - get started with computers' program . Courses will include training in:

  • Computer Hardware
  • Computer Programs/Software
  • File Management
  • The Internet
  • Email

The First Click program provides access to technology and training for people who might not be able to gain computer skills without some help. The training provided through the First Click grant scheme targets specific groups identified in research (commissioned by the Department of Education and Training) as most in need of assistance.

The research showed that the key groups least likely to be computer literate were seniors aged 65 years and over; people from low income households; people in regional areas; and women not working aged 40 to 54 years.
