NEWSLETTER – APRIL 2025 – Aged Care Reforms, AI for Beginners, Tracking Hoot, Big Purple Phone

The April 2025 edition of Basic Tech’s newsletter is packed with updates and inspiration. We explore how the upcoming aged care reforms—set to launch with the Support at Home Program on 1 July 2025—will continue to support digital skills training for older Australians, ensuring independence and connection remain a priority. You’ll enjoy a fun and relatable story about tracking Hoot the cat using an Apple AirTag and a smart collar from Amazon. There’s also exciting news about a brand-new workshop series, starting with a beginner’s guide to Artificial Intelligence, hosted in partnership with the Gold Coast City Council. Lastly, we spotlight the Big Purple Phone, a simplified mobile solution for seniors and those with vision impairments, and how Basic Tech can help set it up and provide ongoing support.
