In an increasingly digitised world, abusive behaviours and activities are occurring more often on internet-enabled devices. This kind of technology-facilitated abuse, or TFA, disproportionately affects women from migrant and refugee backgrounds due to language barriers, social isolation, and other factors.

It's this issue that for Women Inc. are tackling with their latest project – ‘Shaping Attitudes of What’s OK Online with Intimate Partners’.

Fast-tracked with $50,000 of grant assistance from Telematics Trust, this forward-thinking project will see the development of culturally appropriate and accessible digital educational tools that will assist women from migrant and refugee backgrounds gain self-help strategies so that they can recognise TFA, and teach them how to avoid it, respond to it and report it.

Imagine: students investing in a beehive, fruit trees, oysters or a herd of cattle, readying them to be the agricultural leaders of tomorrow, all without leaving the classroom.

In 2024, Invest Inya Farmer (IIF) made this a reality with their educational app, IIFed. Assisted by a $50,000 grant from Telematics, the IIFed platform helps students engage with farming by placing virtual money into real-life farms on their mobile devices. Through this gamified experience, students watch their crops and herds, as well as their investment (quite literally) grow, helping them understand the complexities of farming and providing a vivid understanding of the food supply chain.

Chemotherapy has been saving lives for nearly 80 years, yet finding a unique dosage for each patient that minimises risks and side effects remains a challenge.

Enter PredicTx – a groundbreaking AI-powered tool developed by Professor Justin Yeung and his team at Western Health. This revolutionary digital health tool identifies chemotherapy overdosing and predicts toxicity, ensuring safer, more personalised treatment.

And now, thanks to a $50,000 grant from Telematics Trust to the Western Health Foundation, the team is now fast-tracking ChemoRight, an accompanying app that transforms PredicTx’s complex data into easy-to-understand visuals that help inform dosage levels. By combining AI with intuitive design, ChemoRight will empower both clinicians and patients to monitor, adjust, and optimise chemotherapy dosing in real time, ensuring more accurate treatment with less adverse effects.

In 2022, Reading Out Of Poverty Inc. (ROOP) were granted $50,000 by the Telematics Trust to develop 'A Clearer View of Reading' – a project that used innovate eye-tracking technology to assess the reading levels of disadvantaged primary school students across Victoria.

This groundbreaking technology provided a crystal-clear view of students’ reading comprehension levels through a fun and engaging test, allowing teachers to develop and personalise reading plans for their students. Early intervention like this can make all the difference in ensuring that students don't fall further behind on a life skill as critical as reading.

Young Australians are growing up in an increasingly fraught climate. Racism, division and hate-fuelled incidents are on the rise, and social cohesion is under pressure. We are in urgent need of new ways to help young people identify, understand and counter discrimination in all its forms. Thankfully, Cool.org has a solution.

Assisted by $50,000 of grant funding courtesy of Telematics Trust, Cool.org have created ‘Upstander Education’ – a series of online resources that helps teenage students identify prejudice, build empathy and take inclusive and positive action. The resources offer tools that are practical and empowering, and are already freely available to Year 9 and 10 students Australia-wide, with Year 8 students soon to follow. Thanks to these resources young people will learn to not only avoid discriminatory behaviour themselves, but to also actively combat it when they see it.

You can find out more about how Cool.org's project is helping young people become upstanders, not bystanders, by reading our latest blog: https://www.telematics.org.au/case-studies/upstanders-how-coolorg-is-teaching-students-to-combat-discrimination

Misinformation, ‘fake news’, AI-generated content, deepfakes, scams, phishing, echo chambers. In today’s digitised world, the ability to separate what’s real and helpful from what’s fabricated and harmful is more crucial than ever.

Powered by a $50,000 grant from Telematics Trust, Click Check is curriculum-aligned, classroom-ready and will empower students to pause, question and think critically about what they encounter online, so that they can confidently navigate the digital world with confidence and resilience.

StoryBoxHub believes that instilling a love for reading in our kids has the power to foster empathy and encourage human connection. However, deaf and hard-of-hearing children can be disadvantaged by a lack of teaching tools that cater to their learning of this fundamental skill.

In 2024, with the help of a $16,600 Telematics Trust grant, StoryBox were able to create Auslan translations of 13 beloved childrens stories for the first time. Partnering with Auslan Consultancy to assist with research and production, the stroies were added to StoryBox's expansive digital reading platform so that they can be accessed and enjoyed by all kids. Since then, they have expanded to 48 translated stories, with more on the way, ensuring more kids are able to free their imaginations and develop a joy of reading.

Neurodiverse people, including those with autism and ADHD, often express sensory and communication differences to neurotypical people. These differences manifest in many ways, and when interacting with police can be misinterpreted as defiance, noncompliance or aggression. These kind of misunderstandings can quickly escalate into traumatic, dangerous and criminalising events.

Cyberstonomy, a specialist cyber consultancy and research organisation, is looking to address this challenge head on with NeuroJustice, their personalised digital education platform designed to help neurodiverse Victorians safely navigate encounters with police. Co-designed with the neurodiverse community and made possible with a $50,000 Telematics Trust grant, NeuroJustice promises to help close the education gap between police officers and neurodiverse people, improving public safety in a way that is accessible, engaging, and grounded in empathy.
