About Rural Connect Foundation

Our mission is to reduce social and economic disadvantage in rural and regional Australia by delivering targeted, grant-funded programs that relieve digital exclusion, empower vulnerable populations, and promote equitable access to essential technology and services.

We work directly with communities experiencing hardship, including isolated seniors, low-income households, disengaged youth, and people facing barriers to digital participation. By providing accessible education, practical digital skills, and mobile service delivery, we aim to alleviate the distress caused by digital disadvantage and promote long-term inclusion.

We are committed to meaningful, measurable impact—partnering with local organisations, councils, and service providers to ensure that our programs reach those most in need. Our work operates transparently, sustainably, and with the belief that no Australian should be excluded from opportunity, connection, or essential services due to where they live or what they can afford.
