About us
The Australian Digital Inclusion Alliance (ADIA) is a shared initiative with over 500 business, government, academic and community organisations working together to accelerate action on digital inclusion. Our member organisations conduct a variety of research and practical programs aimed at reducing the digital divide and enabling greater social and economic participation for all Australians.
The ADIA’s vision is to build a digitally inclusive Australia where everyone is equipped to fully participate in the economy and society. Being digitally included means a person has:
- Affordable access to quality internet and appropriate devices.
- Access to inclusively designed online content, that’s readable and accessible, including if they are differently abled or from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds.
- The knowledge, ability, skills and confidence to complete tasks safely and securely online.
Throughout the year the ADIA hosts a number of online meetups showcasing, discussing and contributing to the work being done to increase digital inclusion in Australia.
We contribute to policy on matters related to digital inclusion through submissions to government consultations and targetted engagement initiatives. Our work, and the work of others, is communicated to our members via our quarterly newsletter. Sign up now.
The ADIA is supported by Infoxchange, Google, Telstra and TasNetworks. Australia Post was also a founding partner.
