The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW’s (GOCNSW) Welfare Service has organised three Cyber Security Awareness education and training workshops to be delivered in the coming months, teaching vital digital safety information for our community’s elderly.
The workshops will be held at the GOCNSW’s premises in Lakemba, delivering important cyber security information of particular interest to older citizens.
The first workshop will be held on 20 August and will serve as a purely educational session, with two subsequent workshops on 17 September and 1 October to give attendees hands-on training using digital devices.
The project is fully funded by the Department of Home Affairs as part of the Australian Cyber Security Strategy program 2023-2030.
The coming three workshops are part of five in total that will be rolled out by the GOCNSW Welfare Service during the period of 2025-2027.
The project aims to provide cyber security literacy to vulnerable Australians, build on national resilience and expand on the national cyber security awareness campaign.
The workshops are considered of great benefit to people over 65 years old, who are believed to gain a great deal of important information through this initiative.
The workshops are based on materials developed under the existing “Act Now, Stay Secure” government campaign, with the events to cover numerous aspects of Cyber Security Safety and Scams.
Guest Presenters:
- Aziza Rifai, Multicultural Service Officer, Services Australia
- Dr. Rahat Masood, Senior Lecturer School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)at UNSW
- Sam Dasakis, Kix 4 IT Solutions
- Constable Cleo Tsiotsias, Campsie Police Area Command
The workshops are all free events with lunch and morning refreshment to be provided for all attendees.
