'Celebrating 21 years'

Infoxchange Australia has been working to meet the technology needs of community service providers and traditionally disadvantaged communities for 21 years, continually evolving to suit the times. In 2008-09, this evolution reached a new level, with a wide variety of work conducted to determine what's needed in the future to ensure a digitally proficient and efficient not-for-profit sector. This work is laid out in our annual report for 2008-09; our 21st year, where we continued to meet our vision - 'technology for social justice'.
