Nicolette Boele

Bradfield gets its first ever non-Liberal Party MP

Bradfield gets its first ever non-Liberal MP

At the 2025 Federal Election we worked with the Nicolette Boele team to create their campaign website, as well as provide systems for distributed volunteer management and broadcast SMS via our SupporterBase platform. We provided intensive website, database and digital organising support throughout that campaign, and Nicolette secured a famous victory by only a handful of votes in what was once a Liberal Party stronghold. 

As the team in Bradfield has transitioned from campaign mode to serving the community with Nicolette as an elected MP, we have continued to work with them to ensure their website and volunteer systems are fit for purpose.

David Pocock

Trust, integrity and leadership for the ACT

When David Pocock announced his run for the Federal Senate in 2022, we worked with his team to help spin up their campaign website and database over a matter of days, as well as provide systems for distributed volunteer management and broadcast SMS via our SupporterBase platform. We provided intensive support throughout that campaign, and Pocock made history by becoming the first non-Liberal or Labor Senator for the ACT.

Over Senator Pocock’s first term in parliament, we continued to work closely with his legendary team, providing ongoing website and database support and helping to launch new campaigns supported by the Senator. 

In the lead up to the 2025 election, the Pocock team again called on us to help refresh the Senator’s website and to roll out SupporterBase, which this time around was also used to support the mammoth task of rostering volunteers onto hundreds of shifts at election booths across the ACT. In 2025, Senator Pocock was reelected, doubling his support and placing ahead of even the Labor ticket!

“Our thanks to you and your great team for your fantastic work supporting David's campaign. You are having a huge impact growing and empowering campaigns nationally. Congrats”

Parents for Climate

On a mission to empower millions of Australian parents to champion climate action within their communities, the media, business and politicians.

Parents for Climate is a grassroots movement uniting parents, carers, and families to demand urgent climate action for the sake of future generations. Their mission is to provide a platform for parents to organise, advocate, and raise awareness about the climate crisis, amplifying their voices as a powerful force for change. The new website designed for Parents for Climate in 2024 needed to articulate their mission with clarity and purpose, create a welcoming space for parents from diverse backgrounds, and provide tools for them to organise, advocate, and take meaningful action to secure a sustainable future for their children.

The website's primary objectives were to:

- Attract and engage parents concerned about climate change, regardless of their political leanings.
- Inspire and mobilise collective action by providing tools for advocacy and community building.
- Streamline onboarding of more engaged supporters, ensuring they can quickly access resources, find local groups, and get involved in ongoing campaigns.

The website is a vibrant and dynamic digital hub that embodies the energy and care of this family-driven movement. The design reflects a community-centric approach, utilising soft greens and blues to evoke nature, growth, and a sense of hope, coupled with impactful imagery from rallies and local gatherings, create an immediate emotional connection.

To achieve the organisation's objectives, the website integrates:

- action tools that make it easy for visitors to discover current campaigns, sign petitions, donate, or contact decision-makers.
- mapping features to enable parents to find nearby groups and activities. This fosters a sense of belonging and empowers parents to take action in their communities. The workflows set up in connection with these frontend website features and our distributed organising platform SupporterBase also allow local leaders to effectively onboard and engage with new members.
- educational resources: accessible articles, guides, and toolkits to help parents engage in climate advocacy and educate others.
- storytelling and advocacy: dedicated blog and media sections highlight the stories of parent advocates, amplifying their voices and providing inspiration for others.

Yes23

Learn about how Code Nation created the campaign and volunteer infrastructure for Australia's largest ever mobilisation.

We had the pleasure of working closely with the Yes23 Campaign Team and we support their mission for constitutional recognition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

In 2023, Australians voted in a referendum about whether to change the Consitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. The website we developed for the “Yes” campaign based on their design mockups needed to not only help raise awareness and engage voters, but also support the recruitment and mobilisation of volunteers nation-wide as part of the largest ever grassroots volunteer campaign of its kind. It also needed to work seamlessly with our volunteer management software, SupporterBase, which would provide the backbone of the distributed organising effort. 

This campaign inspired a whole new cohort of passionate citizens to become volunteer leaders, and it was made possible by the online space we helped them create. People used the Yes23 website to search for local campaign groups via map functionality, and if one didn’t already exist, they could start their own local group by completing a simple online form. They could also find or list their own local events on the website through an automated event submission and publication process. Once local groups were set up online, volunteer leaders used our integrated volunteer management platform, SupporterBase, to send SMS and email blasts, manage call lists, and publish events themselves directly to the Yes23 website. Local groups formed quickly across the country, and started recruiting and organising communications and activities to best suit their respective areas and demographics. Within weeks, there were 276 local groups established, with 55,067 active and engaged volunteers working tirelessly to campaign for the Yes vote.

Although the Yes campaign did not ultimately succeed (with Yes votes at referendums in Australia notoriously difficult to win, especially without bipartisan support from major parties) the volunteer mobilisation element was a key bright spot in the broader campaign, and national organisers of the Yes campaign (which included only a handful of full time staff with little more than a few months to prepare), said they still hit all of their field organising goals and they simply would not have been able to achieve this style of distributed organising, nor this level of scale without our website and digital tools.

Our work with the Yes23 campaign was recognised at the 2024 Reed Awards, winning the award for Best Grassroots Website. 

 

Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF)

Catalysing the impact of volunteer leaders at Australia's peak national environment organisation

The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) is Australia’s national environment organisation, pushing for bold solutions to climate change and habitat destruction.

We are proud that we have been able to support their advocacy efforts overt he past decade. Our services have included the creation of custom pages to drive volunteers to action, as well as the development of several custom tools to help coordinate the work of those volunteers.

We continue to work with ACF through their use of SupporterBase, which empowers volunteers to organise and lead their own groups - giving them the ability to run their own events, email, call and message fellow supporters, all while safeguarding supporter details and syncing data to their CRM. 

Digital Campaigner for ACF, Tom Grindrod, said, "SupporterBase puts community leaders in control - to engage their community, grow sustainably and run powerful campaigns with one platform for everything, not half-a-dozen. Volunteers have reported they love its simple and clean interface, and that it allows the to share the workload between several group members."

"Everyone at SupporterBase/Code Nation are enthusiastic and helpful, are proactive finding solutions to user needs, and care about the product they put into the world and the people that use it."
