A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN

THE INDIGENOUS DIGITAL EXCELLENCE INITIATIVE

How might Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people leverage digital technologies to

increase wellbeing for themselves and their community?

Seeking answers to the question:

Australia’s First Peoples have been innovating for

more than 40,000 years. So what happens when

digital technology is embraced by the world’s

oldest living culture?

We believe the answer is

Indigenous Digital Excellence.
