📱 DIGITAL TIP OF THE WEEK
Make Text Easier to Read
Struggling to read small text on your smartphone? You can increase the text size without zooming in every time.
On most phones, look under Settings → Display or Settings → Accessibility for options to increase the text or font size.
DMN Tip: Try increasing the text size just one or two levels first. A small adjustment can make your phone much more comfortable to use without making everything too large.

Wendy
"Running a small business means wearing many hats. Julie showed me how to create invoices, organise my documents, and use technology more efficiently.
She also shared practical Facebook and business tips that helped me become more organised and confident in running my business."
John
"I wanted to travel without taking my laptop, but all my photos were a mess. Julie showed me how to organise my photos and albums on my iPad, making them easy to find and share wherever I went.
I travelled with confidence, knowing everything I needed for my trip was right there on my iPad."
Bev
"When QR code check-ins and digital COVID certificates became part of everyday life, I felt completely overwhelmed. Julie patiently helped me set up my myGov account and confidently use QR code check-ins.
Thanks to her guidance, I can now use my phone with confidence wherever I go."
