How We Make A Difference

We’ve worked with over 20 governments to create positive social change.

Learning from, and working with the Code for Australia fellows has brought a dynamic perspective to Victoria Legal Aid, building our capacity to use design thinking, rapid prototyping and co-design.

Bevan Warner

Managing Director, Victoria Legal Aid

It has been such an amazing experience for me to talk about the issues we’re having in government and meet people who are willing to help make real change.

Madelaine Veronese

Project Support Officer, Office of Environment and Heritage

Being government organisations we get stuck in the way that we’re doing things and innovation is hard to grasp. This was the perfect opportunity to try something different.
