Today, Good Things Australia has released a groundbreaking report revealing almost half a billion dollars in annual benefits could be gained by closing Australia’s digital divide for people who are most highly excluded.

The ‘Economic Benefits of Overcoming Digital Exclusion’ report is an Australian-first, providing an in-depth assessment of the impact that digital exclusion has on the Australian economy and the benefits that overcoming digital exclusion could have on individuals and society as a whole.

This research is critical to our mission of closing the digital divide so no one is left behind.

We’d like to thank leading economist Nicki Hutley for authoring this report and AUDA - .au Domain Administration for their support.

Want to find out more? The report is available to download from the Good Things website: https://goodthingsaustralia.org/news/economic-benefits-of-overcoming-digital-exclusion-report
