Get Online Week 2025 is happening from 20–26 October, and we’re excited for the impact this incredible international campaign will have.
In 2024, thousands of people across Australia were supported through more than 1,000 free events hosted by community organisations, helping them feel safer, more confident, and connected.
Do you want to get involved? Here are four great ways:
- Host a Get Online Week event
Apply for a $1,000 grant to run an event in your community using our free resources and promotional materials. You can also host an event without a grant—just use our free support to get started! - Become a sponsor

You don’t need to be a tech expert to make a difference. Be patient, encouraging, and use our free tips and resources to help someone take their first steps online.
