Included

Digital skills and careers

We want all children & young people to have the opportunity to be included in digital careers. While digital technologies are rapidly advancing, many young people are missing out on the opportunities they bring. We encourage digital aspirations with a focus on coding, artificial intelligence, and digital making.

Empowered

Kind, safe, and fun online

We want all children and young people to live healthy and safe lives online. Young people should enjoy the benefits of being online, whether they're playing, learning, or just living life. In a society that is increasingly digital, navigating digital experiences confidently, smartly, and safely has never been more important.

Connected

Access and connectivity

We want all young people to have access to essential digital services, when or where they’re needed. In response to Australia’s digital divide and increasing youth mental ill-health, we support tech device donation schemes as well as effective, digital youth mental health services.

Our partners

Ensuring children and young people enjoy the best digital life possible is a challenge too great for any single organisation to tackle alone. That’s why we partner with an incredible group of not-for-profit organisations to deliver tech-enabled projects which empower young people to thrive digitally.

Our collaborations provide under-served young people access to the tools and knowledge they need to flourish in an evolving digital future.
