The Regional Tech Hub Connect Grants supports practical, local initiatives that improve connectivity literacy in rural, regional, and remote Australia.

This is not just about digital skills, it’s about connectivity literacy, which is understanding mobile and internet services, knowing the right questions to ask, and feeling confident when things go wrong.
