See messages of congratulation from Internet Society chapters worldwide

From our objectives of 1996 - as relevant as ever: "The fundamental human desire for communication has been the engine driving social, cultural, scientific, and economic development throughout history. The new medium of the Internet has brought about widespread, creative communication between individuals and groups that previously had little chance of contact."

"The overriding objective of the Society is to give expression to the needs and wishes of individuals, groups, or organisations that have a common interest in the viability of the Internet in Australia, so that all Australian users of the Internet may continue to benefit from, and contribute to its applications, technologies, and evolution."

Thank you to all ISOC-AU members for your ten years of commitment.

The Internet Society of Australia is supported by the Commonwealth through the Telecommunications Consumer Representation Grant Program of the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
