Reach more people and build more connected communities.
Round 3 opening soon!
Good Things has partnered with Bendigo Bank to ensure Australian communities have digital skills support and stronger local relationships.
As more essential services are moving online, including banking, it’s important that everyone has the skills and confidence they need to get online safely and confidently.
After a successful pilot in the Bendigo community in 2022-23 and partnership on Get Online Week, we are thrilled to continue working with Bendigo Bank to close the digital divide.
Together, we are funding and supporting community partners across Australia to provide digital skills support, build long-lasting relationships with their local Bendigo Bank branch team and support Bendigo Bank customers who need an extra helping hand to get started online.
