Research shows that children who can access online learning at home as part of their education are more likely to engage in classroom activities.
Access to fast internet at home can also support children to build their digital skills, learn how to safely use the internet and participate in a world that is increasingly dependent on digital technology.
The School Students Broadband Initiative (SSBI), launched by the Federal Government, is aimed at boosting opportunities in education while narrowing the digital divide.
If you’re currently caring for a school-aged child – or children-, live in an NBN-serviced area and don’t already have NBN access, we can help you get connected.
The program provides FREE internet service for eligible households until the end of 2025. To find out more and to check your eligibility, go to Student Internet Program - Anglicare Victoria. Or, call 1800 954 610.
Pop into Newcomb or Corio Library drop-in SSBI Information Sessions, where friendly staff will be on hand to answer your questions. They’ll also provide help in calling the National Referral Centre, if needed.
Explore session times on our website.
