There is a cost associated with testing, resetting and refurbishing the devices being transformed. We have reduced this cost dramatically to $150 per laptop, including 1 year of data. However, we're asking for your support to ensure we can provide these devices at NO COST to Australians in need.
What is the Digital Divide?
Computers are powerful tools. Most of us can’t imagine life without them but this is the reality for too many. Research shows that today, 1 in 4 Australians are digitally excluded meaning that over 7 million people around our country are at risk of being left behind in an increasingly digital society.
Good360 wants to address this inequity head on, by turning new and lightly used laptops into tools of transformation. We are working to reclaim, refurbish and re-home used laptops, mobiles and tablets and give them to the people who need them most. Where additional help is required, we also supply access to data and digital training to ensure the best outcome.
We do this via our refurbishment partners and a vetted network of over 4,700 charities and disadvantaged schools across Australia. Our members are experts on the ground, knowing the needs of people in their community and get the devices where they are needed most.

We keep a stock of mobiles and SIM cards on hand, ready to give to our visitors who have fled domestic violence situations. They feel a sense of relief knowing their partners can no longer track them and that they still have the means to access support networks, manage their own finances, for work or apply for housing when they are ready to move on from crisis accommodation.
We also have a laptop library to help with the transition - but the kids are loving them too, especially the 10-year-old who had never before used technology.
