To empower the next generation to thrive in the digital world, we focus on universal access and meaningful connectivity.

Meaningful connectivity
All children and young people in Australia are empowered to thrive in safe, inclusive, and enriching digital spaces, and can quickly and easily access evidence-based mental health support, where and when they need it.

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.
