Digital inclusion
for every Australian
Finnova Ltd helps vulnerable, elderly and migrant Australians access digital services, government support and community resources — with dignity and consent.
Digital Access & Dignity for All Australians
Finnova Ltd is an Australian registered charity, ISO 27001 aligned organisation, and Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) working to close the digital divide. We help people locked out of the digital world — through poverty, disability, homelessness, family violence, financial hardship or social isolation — get safe, confident access to online services.
Our Vision ▼
Our Vision
"An Australia where no one is excluded from essential services, opportunity or community because of a lack of digital access, skills or confidence."
A future where digital inclusion is universal, equitable, and safe for all citizens regardless of socio-economic status.
Our Mission ▼
Our Mission
Providing digital inclusion, IT assistance, refurbished hardware, and cyber-safety education to people in need.
- ✓ Essential Services Access: 1-on-1 help for myGov & Medicare.
- ✓ Digital Literacy: Multilingual workshops & skill mentoring.
- ✓ Hardware Equity: Refurbished laptops & cyber-safety training.
Bridging the Gap for Digitally Excluded Citizens
According to the Australian Digital Inclusion Index (ADII), digitally excluded Australians remain unable to reliably access essential services, online healthcare, education, or employment opportunities due to hardware costs, language barriers, or low technical confidence.
Finnova Ltd bridges this gap by collecting unused e-waste from corporate partners, securely wiping and refurbishing computers, and redistributing them to families, seniors, NDIS participants, and CALD migrants with 1-on-1 support.

Your Used Laptops & Devices Can Change Lives
Over 7 million Australians face digital barriers — missing out on study, employment, myGov, telehealth, and daily connection. Finnova is reclaiming, refurbishing, and rehoming laptops, tablets, and phones to close the gap.
Measuring Australia's Digital Divide
Key metrics from the Australian Digital Inclusion Index (ADII) research.
Around 1 in 5 Australians are excluded or highly excluded from basic digital access, rising to 66.5% for seniors aged 75+ and 45.2% in public housing.
3.5 million computers end up in Australian landfill every year while millions of vulnerable citizens lack fit-for-purpose hardware.
Almost 10% of Australians rely solely on smartphones, making job applications, study, and myGov document uploads extremely difficult.
The national inclusion gap for First Nations people widens to 22.8 points in very remote communities where 40.9% are excluded.
