In the latest edition of our Leaders of Tech series, auDA spoke with Sylvia Cadena about her role as W3C Chief Development Officer and the organisation's priorities around accessibility, ethics and inclusion on today's internet.

To understand the needs of .au members, last year we asked them to share their views on what’s working well, where we could improve, and what matters most to them. Member responses gave us valuable, practical insight, and in 2026 we’re turning that feedback into action.

auDA’s 2025 Community Grant Program awarded $750,000 to 15 projects that aim to increase digital inclusion in communities across Australia. The successful projects were announced on 3 February 2026. Each project was awarded $50,000.
