Mapping the Digital Gap

Target Audience: General public, Government agencies, Researchers
The First Nations Digital Inclusion Dashboard is part of the ADII, is an interactive platform designed to provide detailed insights into how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people access, use, and experience digital technologies across Australia.
PURPOSE
The First Nations Digital Inclusion Dashboard enables users to explore data on key dimensions of digital inclusion—access, affordability, and digital ability—across urban, regional, and remote communities, and to compare outcomes with non–First Nations populations. Drawing on survey data collected in partnership with First Nations organisations and communities, the dashboard offers a nuanced picture of the digital divide and the factors shaping it, while supporting measurement of progress towards Closing the Gap Target 17. Importantly, it is intended as a resource for First Nations communities, policymakers, and researchers to better understand barriers, inform culturally appropriate solutions, and strengthen digital inclusion in ways that support connection, culture, and self-determination.
This research is part of the Mapping the Digital Gap project.
