About the Digital Champions
Good Things Australia and Down Syndrome Australia have good news! Our Digital Champions are here to close the digital divide for people with intellectual disability.
Our first 10 Digital Champions are getting ready to educate community organisations and support workers on how they can best support people with intellectual disability to be confident and safe online.
