Thank you to Optus for the opportunity to bridge the digital divide in communities across Australia. Without the Donate Your Data® program and your generosity, our members would have to go without providing digital access to their communities.

We are always looking for ways to support our community where we can, and we hope this small gesture may help ease some pressure for those doing it tough right now.

What Our Community Says

Amanda & Josh – New South Wales

“I just wanted to say thank you so much to ARTFam for the Optus SIM card. As a solo mum, every bill adds up and there have been weeks where I’ve had to choose between essentials. Having my phone connected has meant I can stay in contact with my child’s school, access appointments, and not worry about running out of data. It honestly took a huge weight off my shoulders.”

Joanne – South Australia

“Receiving one of these SIM cards came at exactly the right time for me. Recently my hours were reduced by work. And I am struggling financially. The extra support meant I could still stay connected with family, medical services and the ASMBC support groups online. Small acts like this make a really big difference. Thank You.”

Sarah – Victoria

“I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Michelle and the entire Australian Solo Mothers By choice team for their kindness and support. Reaching out for help is never easy, and I honestly felt quite embarrassed at first. But the way Michelle handled everything made me feel so comfortable and respected. What stood out most was that they never made me feel like I was a burden or ‘taking’ from anyone.”

Sarah – Victoria

“In fact, Michelle somehow made it feel like I was helping them by accepting the support, which completely changed how I felt about asking for help.
The process was simple, compassionate and completely judgement-free. The SIM card has genuinely helped me stay connected during a really difficult time, and I will never forget the kindness that was shown to me.
Thank you for creating such a caring and supportive community.”
