As digital services evolve and become ever more embedded in social, economic and cultural life, the ability to afford a reliable, quality internet connection and the devices required for social participation has never been more critical.
Digital inclusion outcomes and access to services are critically important to ensuring informed decision-making and agency among Australia’s First Nations peoples. However, there is a gap between the digital inclusion of First Nations Australians and other Australians.
We respectfully acknowledge the Baarkandji, Eastern Kuku Yalanji, Erubam Buaigiz, Warumungu, Anmatyerr, Yolŋu (Djambarrpuyŋu, Gupapuyŋu, Djinang, Dhuwala) Kwini, Kulari, Bardi, Dinnuman and other traditional owners for the lands on which Mapping the Digital Gap research was conducted. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today, and to their Ancestors and Elders, past and present. We also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians and their Ancestors of the lands and waters across Australia where we work, live and undertake our research.
