One in five Australians are digitally excluded. This charter unites government, business and community organisations to put surplus technology into their hands — refurbished, redistributed, and put to work.
This is what endorsing organisations agree to work towards — together, not alone.
Build a coordinated and sustainable system
SYSTEM
Work together to create a nationally coordinated, flexible and enduring ecosystem — sharing data openly and supporting many ways to contribute.
EQUITY
Act to advance equity
Promote practical quality and security standards, so every device distributed is reliable and fit for purpose.
Make reuse the default
REUSE
Extend device lifecycles through repair, refurbishment and repurposing, before recycling is ever considered.
Deliver quality, safe and secure devices
SECURITY
Promote practical quality and security standards, so every device distributed is reliable and fit for purpose.
Act on climate and community
CLIMATE
Measure and communicate the environmental and social benefits of reuse across the community.
Partner with communities
PARTNERSHIP
Work with the community sector, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Organisations, to direct devices where the need is greatest.
Amplify what works
SCALE
Strengthen and scale existing tech reuse programs, connecting surplus technology with more beneficiaries — not duplicating what already works.
