Every community thrives when every member has the tools to take part — to read the note from the school, fill in the job application, understand a medical leaflet, or help a child with homework. Yet across Australia, thousands of adults quietly struggle with basic reading, writing and numeracy, shutting doors on work, confidence and opportunity. Recent research and sector reports show there are significant, unmet adult literacy needs and real social and economic costs when people are left behind.
That’s why the Read Write Now course matters — it’s not about schooling again, it’s about practical, respectful learning that changes lives. Read Write Now supports adult learners with experienced tutors and delivers learning that builds the everyday skills that employers and families rely on. Read Write Now can help people move from confusion and frustration with reading and writing to taking real steps toward employment, further training and fuller community life.
If you know someone who avoids forms, shrinks from interviews, or says “I’ll manage” when asked to read something important, this course is the place to start. The learning is tailored, confidential and delivered in welcoming community settings; the gains are immediate and lasting: better job prospects, more confidence, and stronger participation in community life.
Adult learning is an investment that pays dividends for families, employers and neighbourhoods alike.
