Were you one of them during Get Online Week 2022? Read about our digital inclusion campaign's impact.

Get Online Week is Good Things Foundation’s digital inclusion campaign, aimed at closing the digital divide.

During Get Online Week, hundreds of community organisations host events supporting people to take the next step in learning new digital skills. For Get Online Week 2022, we encouraged Australians to ‘Try One Thing’ and discover the possibilities of the internet.

Together with our event holders and supporters, we helped 19,000 everyday Aussies to feel more confident getting online in just one week.

Our brand new infographic tells the story of the impact of our annual digital inclusion campaign.
