AMES Australia Launches Digital Literacy Program for Cranbourne Residents

AMES Australia runs its Digital Literacy for Life course across the region, delivering sessions on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays that focus on device basics, internet access and online services.

Cranbourne’s standing as a city with a vibrant tech scene makes these offerings timely as residents and students navigate daily digital demands at work, school and home. Local providers have expanded access points that align with broader Victorian efforts to build foundational skills.

Library and Community Workshop Options

Connected Libraries delivers digital literacy workshops for Cranbourne participants, with bookings available by calling 1800 577 548 or visiting connectedlibraries.org.au/events. Monash Library, which serves Cranbourne, supplies free Be Connected self-paced tutorials, Digital Learn courses and one-on-one basic tech help with librarians. These options sit alongside AMES Australia’s scheduled classes to give adults multiple entry points.

School Curriculum Links

Cranbourne West, Cranbourne Secondary College and Cranbourne East integrate digital technologies, coding and eSmart cyber safety programs into their curriculum. The Victorian Curriculum supplies Digital Literacy foundational skills while the Planning for 1-to-1 implementation checklist guides school-based digital learning programs.

Evidence of reach appears in the coordinated spread of these named providers and curriculum resources, which together address device use, online safety and practical service access without relying on single-channel delivery. The combination supports both students in the listed colleges and adults seeking weekday classes or library sessions.

Residents can contact Connected Libraries on 1800 577 548 or check connectedlibraries.org.au/events to book workshops, while AMES Australia course details are listed on its site and Monash Library resources remain available through monlib.vic.gov.au for self-paced starts.
