Webinars for Network Partners

In the last 7 months almost $90 million have been lost to scams, and unfortunately many of these happen through phone calls, emails and social networks. With a growing number of online scams, including scam awareness in your digital skills programs can help people to stay safe and feel more confident.

To help you with this, organisations in the Be Connected Network are invited to an exclusive webinar with a special guest speaker from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Scamwatch team.

Register for this webinar to learn about:

• Different types of scams and emerging trend
• How to identify and report scams
• Where to get help from scams
• Tips on how to talk about scams to your learners and specific advice for older Australians
• How you can incorporate scam education in your Be Connected program

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions to the Scamwatch and Good Things Foundation presenters in the chat panel.
