Our fully remote team was lucky enough to meet on the Victorian coast recently for our annual working retreat. We spent our days collaborating on projects, planning for the year ahead, eating beautiful meals together and surfing at the local beach. We left feeling fresh, happy, and fully rejuvenated to tackle all the exciting new projects we have in store for Code Nation and SupporterBase this year!

We're stoked to announce that we're finalists in FOUR categories for the 2023 Reed Awards! One of which was the award for Best Innovation In Advocacy, for our SupporterBase platform!

We're super proud of our team and can’t wait for the final announcement!

Meet Nic, our awesome Full Stack Developer who was born with a passion for technology and black skinny jeans! He previously worked behind the scenes at Channel 7 on live news segments and weather graphics, and now thrives on building tools to help our incredible partners build their following! In his free time, you'll find Nic playing board games, hiking or programming.

Our friend Harry Burkitt over at Wilderness Australia knows that we're in it with you for the long haul! If you’re also in need of ongoing website support and maintenance, please get in touch to discuss options.

Our team of coding legends were wrapped to deliver this new site for Represent Women, using our ready-made website theme, Candidate, with a mix of creative designs and customisations. You can explore the full site here.

We recently partnered with NationBuilder to deliver a webinar on SupporterBase, our community organising tool that took Australia's 2022 federal election by storm. If you'd like to access the recording, just hit us up!

Go Gentle Australia has a vision of an Australia where we all are empowered to choose the end-of-life care that is right for us. We worked with them to launch a new website that's interactive, educational and clearly broadcasts their vision. This was delivered using one of our ready-made NationBuilder website themes.

The Australian Conservation Foundation is using our powerful organising tool, SupporterBase, to coordinate their well-established community of volunteers in the lead up to the Australian federal election, and we spoke with their Digital Organiser, Isadora Poole, to learn how. You can read the full case study we put together off the back of our chat here.

This budget announcement was a huge win for our friends at Country Needs People, who have long been calling on the government to significantly invest in doubling the Indigenous ranger workforce!

Jobs in Aboriginal land management will be doubled under an expansion of the Indigenous ranger program, which received a $636 million commitment in the Australian federal budget to create 1000 full-time equivalent positions.

We've been working closely with the team at CNP for a number of years on their digital campaigns and are so excited about what they have been able to achieve!

We're chuffed to announce that we've been named finalists across four different categories in this year's Reed Awards! The categories and nominations are listed below:

• Best International Website: https://www.ccwa.org.au/

Fingers crossed for the final announcement on winners, but regardless of the results, we're already very proud of our wonderful team!
