“I think everyone should be proud of what they’ve achieved with this project. It’s been such a great project to be part of. I’ve learned so much from being part of it and from everyone.” – Digital Champion
Our first group of Digital Champions have completed their digital skills and mentoring program with Good Things Australia and Down Syndrome Australia in December 2025. Congratulations to Eoin, Alanna, Leonie, Jerry, Sarah, Chris, Ethan, Adam and Lachlan for sharing your story and supporting others to learn as Digital Champions!
The Digital Champions have inspired hundreds of people to take action at conferences and presentations including high profile events like:
The Digital Champions co-created learning games with Good Things Australia to support others to learn important online safety skills
9 out of the 10 Digital Champions are now employed on other projects with Good Things Australia and Down Syndrome Australia. A few of the Digital Champions have joined the Games for Good program to help us co-design an online learning game to keep people safe with online relationships.

“I have felt more safe online, felt comfortable talking to people around town and online. I feel confident on technology.” – Digital Champion
Our next group of Digital Champions have begun to get ready to educate community organisations and support workers on how they can best support people with intellectual disability to be confident and safe online.
We are excited to be working with 10 Digital Champions across WA, QLD, NSW, SA and Victoria to close the digital divide for people with intellectual disability. Welcome Ally, Ben, Ben, Brianna, Michael, Greg, Tim, Kyal, Aaron and Caitlin!
Keep in the loop with news, grant announcements, events and updates in our Good Things newsletter and learn how to get involved in closing the digital divide.
