Internet Access Program — affordable, reliable connectivity

What we offer

Eligibility & fees

We prioritise applicants who:

• Have urgent connectivity needs or cannot otherwise afford reliable internet
• Are families with school-aged children where learning is affected by poor connectivity
• Run community venues serving digitally excluded groups
• Are partners piloting place-based connectivity solutions

Many supports are free or subsidised. For sustained or larger scale connections we provide simple fee schedules or procurement pathways — contact us for a tailored quote.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I be connected?

For urgent cases we triage within 48 hours. Typical facilitation and setup takes 5–15 business days depending on inventory and install complexity.

Do you manage ongoing bills?

We help households access low-cost plans and set up billing, but long-term bill responsibility is arranged with the household or partner. For sustained supports we advise procurement or subsidy options.

Can you install in my home?

Yes — on-site setup for routers, guest networks and assistive-device pairing is available where safe and appropriate; visits are scheduled during scoping.

What evidence do you need?

Evidence is helpful for subsidies (school note, concession card), but we accept applications and assess case-by-case. If uploads fail, email supporting documents to founder@edulinked.com.au.

Accessibility & accessible formats

We provide Easy Read information, Auslan-friendly summaries and symbol-supported guides for applicants and participants. Tick the accessibility box on forms or email founder@edulinked.com.au and tell us what you need.

Design note: Ensure downloadable PDFs are tagged and include language metadata en-AU, and that images have descriptive alt text.

Developer & admin notes

• Change the form action to your Oncord/CRM endpoint to capture applications and attachments. The form uses multipart/form-data for file uploads.
• All contact mailto links in this template route to founder@edulinked.com.au for EduLinked program routing — change only if you want a different inbox.
• If your CMS strips file inputs, provide an alternative (ask applicants to email attachments) or a server-side upload handler.
• Ensure any downloadable assets (program sheet, evidence templates) are tagged PDFs with language metadata en-AU and include alt text for images.
• Optional enhancements: short Easy Read one-page application, Auslan script for an intro video, or a small JS snippet to validate the form and prevent double submits. I can supply any of these on request.

This page is part of the EduLinked Internet Access Program and follows EduLinked’s accessibility-first approach. If you’d like an Easy Read application PDF or a short phone script staff can use to support applicants, tell me and I’ll prepare it.
