Digital Skills Training

Empower inclusion through technology

Every day, technology shapes how we connect, learn, and take part in the world. But for many people with disability, digital access is still out of reach. Barriers include the cost of devices, lack of confidence, or training that isn’t designed with accessibility in mind.

Co-designed with the Centre for Social Impact at Flinders University, Digital Skills Training by EPIC Assist makes a difference.

Your donation helps people with disability gain the digital confidence, independence, and connection that many of us enjoy every day.

Together, we can make sure everyone has the chance to be part of today’s digital world.

Why your donation matters

For many participants, this program is their first positive experience using technology in a safe, inclusive space. With your help, we can provide access to learning, tools, and ongoing support that changes lives.

When you donate, you help to:

  • Fund a place for a person with disability to complete the six-week program
  • Provide refurbished laptops and tablets to graduates
  • Ensure access to assistive technology and personalised support for every participant
  • Create a more inclusive digital community across North Brisbane and beyond

Where your gift goes

Monetary donations

Your donation directly covers the cost for a person with disability to complete the course. This includes training materials, support, and follow-up assistance.

It’s more than just a class: it’s confidence, connection, and a path toward new opportunities.

Your support means they can learn to:

  • Stay safe online
  • Use digital tools for daily life
  • Create digital resumes and portfolios
  • Build skills for further education or employment

Device donations

Donating a good-quality laptop or tablet, you give someone the key to continue their digital journey.

Each graduate of the Digital Skills Training program receives a refurbished device to take home. This helps them stay connected, keep learning, and apply their new skills long after the course ends.

Your donated device becomes a powerful tool for independence. Allowing participants to apply for jobs, contact family, and access online services confidently and safely.

We securely refurbish, wipe and prepare every donated device for safe use.

The impact you create

Every donation — big or small — makes a real difference.
With your help, we can support more people with disability to build digital confidence and independence — one learner, one device, and one community at a time.

Ways to Give

Whether you’re an individual, business, or community group, there are many ways to get involved:

  • Give money – every dollar helps cover the cost of training and support.
  • Donate a device – give a pre-loved laptop or tablet a second life with someone who needs it.
  • Become a partner – workplaces and organisations can host device drives, fundraising events, or sponsor participant places.
