inDigiMOB is about improving digital inclusion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote Northern Territory communities. It does this by forming partnerships with communities and local organisations and making available a suite resources that communities can take advantage of according to their needs.

These resources include technical, training and infrastructure support around digital technology and the online world. inDigiMOB aims to establish a network of local digital mentors; improve digital literacy through workshops and training; support connectivity solutions; provide technical advice; and develop appropriate and relevant learning tools.

inDigiMOB emphasises informal, peer-to-peer learning that values the experiences and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Learning is project based, inclusive, responsive to community wishes and respects age, gender and cultural protocols.

The approach builds on the research and activities undertaken by First Nations Media Australia over many years, which has identified four key obstacles to the take up and use of communications technologies in remote Indigenous communities:

• Accessibility of internet services including knowledge of internet services available in remote communities and blackspot issues;
• Awareness of community members of the potential of the internet and managing likely issues including limited digital training, on-ground support and mentors, and Cyber Safety issues;
• Affordability of services;
• Appropriateness of internet take-up programs including lack of language-based training, lack of culturally appropriate training spaces and delivery modes.
