(1) CIT provides a range of services to support the ACT Government's Digital Divide program. These include:
The development and production of self-help materials to be available at Community Access IT Centres for people who have not previously used a computer;
The recruitment of people suitable to be trained to be roving tutors;
Training, employment and management of roving tutors to provide support of people using Community IT Access Centres;
Training of Community IT Access Centre personnel in ways of supporting diverse users of their centres;
Community liaison to identify and to organise new sites and tutor input to these;
Monitoring the performance of tutors and providing support where necessary;
Regular network meetings of centre providers to identify issues they are facing and to facilitate discussion to address them.
(2) No, the department has not conducted a survey of client IT use and corresponding needs and has no plans to do so. The department has a disparate client group whose IT use and needs are not easily quantified through a survey. The government's Information Management Strategic Plan 2002 - 2005, released in June 2002, recognises matters concerning IT access of ACT citizens. The department is actively working with government agencies charged with responsibility for addressing Digital Divide issues and client access to government services.
