Keep in touch chatterbox

ADF members serving around the world will soon be able to chat with and see their families through a computer hook-up.

The Defence Special Needs Support Group (DSNSG) has created the Chatterbox program, allowing families to participate in a range of activities online.

Activities include live audio and visual chats, photos, and even a whiteboard to draw pictures together.

DSNSG Coordinator Margaret Fisk said the last few technological challenges were being dealt with and the program would soon be up and running.

“When Chatterbox is fully operational we will be able to hold national conference meetings on-line.

We will also be able to present a range of guest speakers on subjects that are extremely important for ADF families with special needs, including Defence education and health issues,” he said.

Overseas personnel interested in using Chatterbox please e-mail national.coordinator@dsnsg.org.au, or their families can phone 1800 037 674. Contact details for coordinators around Australia are at www.dsnsg.org.au
