The upgrade is part of a broader push to support older Australians in building confidence online, with free self-paced learning resources and guided support designed to improve digital literacy and online safety.
Residents of all ability levels are welcome, from those learning how to turn on a computer for the first time through to people seeking help to navigate apps, sending emails or using online services.
The new computers, along with iPads and Android tablets, can be accessed during RCH opening hours.
For those wanting to get started immediately, a wide range of free online learning materials are already available.
These include step-by-step lesson plans for both iPhone and Android devices, as well as easy-to-follow articles explaining common icons, recommended apps, tech tips and tricks, and practical guides such as how to scan QR codes.
Monthly online presentations are also available, offering guided demonstrations that range from the basics all the way through to using different apps and websites.
In addition to self-guided learning, the RCH team will also be hosting a series of sessions focusing on specific topics, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
