The Northcliffe Telecentre has been in operation since 1994.  We are an incorporated not-for-profit organisation dedicated to:

• encouragement of local employment
• provision of competitive local access to technology and services
• providing training and educational opportunties
• offering community development resources

A current emphasis at the Telecentre is encouragement of small businesses, sole traders and creative individuals and groups by offering truly professional services at competitive prices.  Access to such services is key in inventing and growing new and existing businesses.  Northcliffe is a creative community and wants to grow!

In July 2006 our Telecentre finally found a permanent home in purpose built premises in the central crossroads in Northcliffe.  We thank the Northcliffe Timber Cluster for our previous accomodation - the fantastic accomodation at 26 Mill Road Number 2 - and acknowledge the South West Development Commission for their generous rent subsidy on that premises.

At the time of moving to our new accomodation we managed to update most of our equipment and the Telecentre now has 8 Shuttle computers (thanks to Lotterywest), set up in comfortable ergonomic workstations in our main training/ computer room (a number of sponsors help us set up and fit out the new centre). 

We also have a meeting room, a room dedicated to Centrelink where our clients can have privacy, and a long room in which we keep our wide format printing service.

Northcliffe Telecentre is a Centrelink access point with free fax and phone to contact Centrelink.
We provide a full range of the usual Telecentre services including public access internet, printing, faxing and IT training and support services.

Business Planning

Top of the agenda for Northcliffe Telecentre at the moment is to make a business plan for the coming financial year.  Actions we are planning for the coming year include delivering a huge training program of 52 different classes in 52 weeks.  We are also planning a big emphasis on promotion, distribution and training in open source software.  A seperate stream is the development of a Linux options program.
