Free Get Online Week 2025 events in Corangamite and Moyne
Published on 17 October 2025
The Corangamite Moyne Library Service is hosting free and fun digital skills events at all branches for Get Online Week 2025.
From 20-26 October, Get Online Week is Australia’s largest community-led digital inclusion campaign
“Get Online Week events give our local communities the skills to feel safer and more confident online,” Libraries Coordinator Janetta Mascilongo said.
“According to the Australian Digital Inclusion Index 2023, nearly one in four people are digitally excluded across the nation.
“Digital skills support, offered through local Get Online Week events, aims to empower people to feel confident in their ability to keep up with technology, learn to navigate the online world and feel safe online.
“CMLS will get involved in Australia’s largest community-led digital inclusion campaign by hosting a series of events across all eight branches.
“First, we will have the ‘Intro to Library eResources’ sessions which will show people how you can read eBooks and magazines, listen to eAudiobooks and stream films & more with your library card. Bring your own phone, tablet or laptop and we’ll help you get set up.
“I encourage anyone who hasn’t yet explored the digital side of their library to stop by for some friendly, free support.
“Then there will be the Tech Help Drop-in sessions where people can build their confidence with technology and learn how to
update emergency contacts, add appointments and reminders to digital calendars, and update contact details on government apps and websites.
These are perfect for anyone needing a hand with everyday digital tasks—like downloading apps, accessing news and podcasts, or making video calls to stay in touch with loved ones.
“Just drop in with your device and your questions.
“Our knowledgeable library staff are there to help you get connected and feel comfortable online.
“The Get Online Week sessions are free, but please book at events.humanitix.com/host/corangamite-moyne-library-service.
“To learn more, visit your local library or head to cmlibraries.com.au.
“If you're not online yet, these sessions are made for you.”
Organised by Good Things Australia, Get Online Week reaches more than 15,000 Australians annually, helping them improve their digital skills. From 20-26 October, hundreds of local events are happening in person and online, where people can learn the essential skills needed for today’s evolving digital landscape.
“With the rapid emergence of AI, it’s even more crucial that everyone has the opportunity to feel digitally included and confident online,” says Jess Wilson, CEO of Good Things Australia.
“That’s why Get Online Week is so important. Our network of community partners are hard at work creating wonderful, accessible events for their communities to take part in.
“This sense of community spirit is also what makes Get Online Week so special. Local events reach people in need of digital support who have the opportunity to learn new skills, empowering them to feel safe and confident while connecting with loved ones, shopping online, accessing online services or applying for jobs.”
