With children across Australia heading back to school, access to technology is more important than ever for their education.
Around 1.4 million young Australians still don’t have access to a computer at home, putting them at risk of being left behind.
This figure has increased over the past 12 months, further widening the digital divide across the nation.
A not-for-profit organisation is calling on businesses and organisations to donate used computers, which can be repurposed to help close this gap.
