The Australian Digital Inclusion Index
Target Audience: General public, Government agencies, Researchers
The Australian Digital Inclusion Index uses data from the Australian Internet Usage Survey to measure digital inclusion across three dimensions of Access, Affordability and Digital Ability. We explore how these dimensions vary across Australia and across different social groups.
PURPOSE
The Australian Digital Inclusion Index (ADII) measures digital inclusion across three core areas: access, affordability and digital ability. It highlights disparities among regions and social groups, including First Nations Australians, and identifies key barriers to inclusion. Widely used by governments, businesses and community organisations the ADII informs strategies to improve digital access nationwide.
This research is part of the Australian Digital Inclusion Index project.
