Well, of course, we love this one. 🤩 Doug Taylor's (The Smith Family) OpEd in the Institute of Community Directors Australia discusses how bridging the digital divide is crucial to overcoming educational inequity caused by poverty and that if we aren't leading the charge, we're falling behind. We fully endorse this call to action for the not-for-profit sector to lean into and embrace technology for social justice. As a sector, collaboration is in our DNA, and it's by working together that we'll continue to implement innovative technology that better serves our communities and moves us closer to an equitable future. Infoxchange exists to support your not-for-profit's digital transformation. https://lnkd.in/gk2J4uUv

Good Things Australia has released a groundbreaking report into the Economic Benefits of Overcoming Digital Exclusion in Australia this morning, highlighting significant gains for the nation economically if we can bridge the digital divide. Digital inclusion benefits include: - $467 million per year in economic value created, based on conservative estimates of almost 1 in 10 Aussies who are 'highly digital excluded'. Expanding estimates to all digitally excluded people would bring the economic value much higher - Increasing access to telehealth could help save $316 per person per year, and half a million GP visits in person - 4,000 people would move to a higher paid job every year - We could see more than 38,000 volunteers each year Digital technologies provide a multitude of benefits for increased economic and social inclusion, improved access to health, greater wellbeing and greater productivity.

It's #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth and we're continuously looking at ways to improve cyber security protections for our customers, and through educational resources for the sector more broadly. Australians lost more than $2.7 billion to scams last year (ACCC, 2024), and it's important we can help vulnerable communities at risk. We have seats available for our upcoming anti-scam series. If you're a not-for-profit staff member, we encourage you to share these sessions with your clients and network to learn how to better protect them from increasingly prevalent scams. If you'd like a facilitator for your group or community, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can enquire to access a facilitator through the link in the description of our next anti-scam session here: https://lnkd.in/gNsdkUNA Upcoming sessions: - 16th October, 11.30am-12.30pm AEDT: https://lnkd.in/gNsdkUNA - 30th October, 2.30-3.30pm AEDT: https://lnkd.in/g4QkPQPs - 12th November, 11am-12pm AEDT: https://lnkd.in/gMR-7GnR - 27th November, 12pm-1pm AEDT: https://lnkd.in/gghFxN6K #cyber #cybersecuritymonth #cybersecurity
