Cliq Connection Learning is a self-paced online program for adults with disability. It covers four modules — online safety, scams, boundaries and consent. It also includes 12 months of full access to the Cliq Connection app so you can put your new skills straight into practice.
The program is for Australian adults aged 18 and over who have a disability and want to build their confidence and safety skills online. It's especially helpful for people who are new to online connections, dating apps or social media.
Adults with disability are up to three times more likely to experience online abuse, scams and unsafe relationships than the general population. Cliq Connection Learning gives participants the skills to spot red flags, set boundaries and stay safe — so they can make real connections without the risk.
Module 1 — Foundations of Online Safety: What online safety means and how to protect your personal information.
Module 2 — Introduction to Scammers: How to spot a fake profile or scam and what to do if something feels wrong.
Module 3 — Understanding Boundaries Online: What boundaries look like in an online space and how to set and communicate them.
Module 4 — Understanding Consent Online: What consent means online and how to manage your privacy, photos and personal information.
The program is fully self-paced. There are no deadlines and no pressure. Most people work through it over a few weeks, but you can take as long as you need.
Yes. The modules are written in plain English with simple language and short lessons. Support workers are welcome to sit with participants as they work through the modules.
