We could all do with an escape at the moment, so to celebrate Get Online Week
we’re hosting a FREE virtual holiday experience for over 50’s!
We’ll take you to three mystery countries online and will be showing you some amazing sights and experiences in Europe from the comfort of your own home. We’ll also share excellent tools and free resources for exploring the world online using the Be Connected website.
This event is a great opportunity to expand your digital skills, connect online with people in your local community and have a much-needed online escape!
As part of your virtual holiday, you’ll receive a special ‘In Flight Refreshments Pack’ delivered to your home (contactless delivery) so you can enjoy some treats as we travel! You will need to provide your home address to receive this special pack (within Newcastle or Lake Macquarie).

We will provide basic instructions for joining us on Zoom. If you are new to Zoom and would like some support before the event, please let us know, we are happy to help.

Facilitated by People With Disability Australia (PWDA)
The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
