Ordering takeaway online? Keep an eye out for food delivery scams.

Scammers may contact you pretending there’s a problem with your order, payment, refund or account. They may ask you to click a link, provide personal information or share a security code.

The safest thing to do is STOP and CHECK. Open the official delivery app or website yourself and check your order there.

If you think you’ve been targeted, don’t respond or send money. If you’ve shared personal or financial information, act quickly to protect yourself.

Meet our latest Learner of the Month, Robyn!

With the support of our Tech Mates, she has built confidence using a range of everyday technologies, including group messaging on her iPad, Chromecast, online ticket purchases and Google Home.

She says the one-on-one support makes all the difference:

“A tiny little thing will stop you from going further and they can explain on a 1:1 basis.”

Congratulations Robyn, and thank you for sharing your digital learning journey with us!

Misinformation is designed to look convincing. From deepfake videos to scam ads featuring fake celebrity endorsements, misinformation is everywhere online.

The good news: a new Australian study found just 60 minutes of media literacy training helped people question what they see online and feel more confident doing it.

You don't need to be a tech expert. You just need the right tools. That's what we do at Digital Literacy Foundation, helping people build real confidence to navigate misinformation and stay safe online.

Did you know your iPhone includes a feature that can make it much easier to use?

Assistive Access simplifies the iPhone experience with larger buttons, cleaner screens and only the apps you need. While it's designed for people with cognitive disabilities, many older adults and people new to smartphones may also find it helpful.

Technology should adapt to your needs. Sometimes a few simple changes can make using your phone more comfortable and less overwhelming.

Swipe through to learn more, then visit Apple's Assistive Access guide to see how it works: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/assistive-access-iphone/welcome/ios

Have questions about your iPhone? Our volunteer Tech Mates can help you explore accessibility features that make technology work for you.

🚨 Don't be surprised if your phone makes a loud noise on Monday 27 July!

Australia is testing AusAlert, a new national emergency warning system that will help keep communities informed during disasters and other emergencies.

At 2:00 pm AEST, compatible mobile phones, tablets and smartwatches may receive a test alert with a loud siren-like sound and vibration (even if your device is on silent or Do Not Disturb). Don't worry, it's only a test.

Knowing what to expect can help reduce anxiety and ensure you're prepared when the system goes live later this year. If you have family, friends or neighbours who may be concerned by the alert, consider letting them know about the test in advance.

For more information, visit the official AusAlert website: ausalert.gov.au
