Digital Inclusion Services — place-based, dignity-first
We help communities, libraries and services design sustainable, local digital inclusion programs — device lending, inclusive workshops, coaching and practical evaluation so more people can participate online.
We provide Auslan, plain language and alternative formats on request — tell us how we can support participation when you contact us.
About our digital inclusion work
Digital inclusion is practical — providing devices, training and support that fit people's lives. We design local programs that combine device access, short workshops and ongoing coaching so communities can build confidence and participation.
We co-design with local teams to make programs that are easy to run, respectful of participants and sustainable beyond the initial pilot.
Services we provide
Community needs & asset assessment
Local scoping to understand devices, connectivity, skills and barriers so programs match real needs.
Digital Lending Library
Design and setup of device-lending systems: policies, forms, maintenance, accessible borrowing workflows and equity-focused rules.
Community training & facilitator coaching
Train-the-trainer sessions, facilitator guides and co-delivered community workshops to build local capability.
Place-based pilots & partnership design
Co-designed pilots with local partners to test models, build evidence and plan for scale.
Accessible communications
Plain-language resources, captioned videos, Auslan-ready materials and outreach templates to make programs easy to join.
Evaluation & sustainment planning
Simple evaluation templates, participation metrics and sustainment plans so programs last beyond initial funding.
How we work — a practical process
We use a short, collaborative process so local teams can learn and sustain work themselves.
1. Discover
Community conversations and asset checks to understand needs, devices and partners.
2. Co-design
Co-design lending workflows, workshop plans and accessible materials with local staff and stakeholders.
3. Pilot & coach
Run pilots with local facilitators, provide on-the-ground coaching and adapt materials in practice.
4. Evaluate & sustain
Capture outcomes through simple evaluation and deliver a sustainment plan and handover materials.
Who this is for
Libraries, community centres, local government, regional networks and small services wanting practical, low-barrier digital inclusion that fits local capacity and needs.
Common scenarios
- Start a device-lending library for community members
- Train staff to run device clinics and short digital skills workshops
- Design a regional pilot to increase participation across towns
- Prepare a sustainment plan so programs continue after pilot funding
Outcomes you can expect
- Working lending systems with clear policies and maintenance plans.
- Local facilitators able to run inclusive workshops and device clinics.
- Accessible participant resources and plain-language communications.
- Evaluation data showing participation, confidence gains and areas for improvement.
Examples & case models
Setup of a 15-device lending library, staff training and volunteer induction, plus evaluation templates.
Multi-site pilot to test a standard lending model and facilitator training across partner towns.
Co-designed workshops for seniors and carers, plus outreach templates and accessible participant materials.
Engagement models & next steps
We offer rapid scoping, pilot packages and longer partnerships with sustainment planning. Costs depend on travel, devices and coaching levels — contact us for a tailored proposal.
Typical packages
- Rapid scoping: short community assessment and recommended model.
- Pilot package: lending setup, two workshops, and coaching.
- Partner model: multi-site pilot with sustainment and evaluation roadmap.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — we advise on accessible device choices, procurement specifications and sustainment plans so devices remain useful and maintained.
Yes. Volunteer induction materials and short coaching modules are included in our packages so community helpers can safely support device clinics and workshops.
We design borrowing rules that prioritise those most excluded, add supports to reduce barriers to access, and recommend monitoring to ensure equitable use over time.
Yes — we can prepare short, funder-ready scopes and budgets that match common grant programs and make it easier to secure pilot funding.
