South Australia Home Stories Autumn 2026

Getting started with technology

We know some residents may need help to feel comfortable using new technology. We’ve recently introduced new ways to contact us like a new email address, SMS and WhatsApp. Sally from the Community Engagement team has run events to help residents learn more about technology and where they can find answers to their technology questions.

We found that when most residents have a question about technology they will: • Ask a tech savvy family or friend • Use a search engine like Google • Watch a YouTube video • Visit their local library for assistance

Another great resource to help you get started is Be Connected , which is a government initiative to help every Australian get the answers they need. Be Connected has articles, podcasts, online guides, how-to videos, online classes and interactive games to test your skills in everything including: • Mobile phones • Tablets • Online safety • Staying in touch with others • Lifestyle

Libraries can be a great source of help for digital help. Residents from Adelaide all the way to Port Augusta can pop into their local library to get help with everything from emails to WhatsApp.
