Communications
Motion:
That ICPA (Aust) advocate to the Minister for Communications to reinstate the funding for the Regional Tech Hub.
Explanation:
28,000 Families in Rural and Remote Australia accessed the services of the Regional Tech Hub last year seeking advice on the best communication solutions for them. It is critical that this service remains in place so that families, particularly those attempting to access distance education, external university lectures, and telehealth sessions to name a few, have access to the best possible services that they can.
The amount of time wasted and levels of stress trying to navigate communications without support can be insurmountable and is unacceptable in today’s society.
