The Internet Society of Australia receives support from the Commonwealth through the Telecommunications Consumer Representation Grant Program of the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
We are holding a series of consultation meetings with telecommunications consumers in a range of Australian cities and towns, to foster public participation and input into Internet development and ISOC-AU policy.
We aim to involve Internet users of all kinds, from personal to professional, in informal round-table events to discuss views and concerns on current Internet issues, technologies, needs and directions.
Our objectives are:
(a) to foster consumer input into the development of the Internet and
self-regulation of the Internet industry in Australia, to fulfil the
vision that `the Internet is for everyone!' and,
(b) to ensure that maximum benefits flow to individuals and businesses as participants in society and the global information economy, and to draw input from all relevant stakeholders and organisations.
