Texting while driving is rapidly becoming a major cause of accidents and injuries. The solution? Simple. Don’t send or read texts on the road.
How lucky are we to call Australia home. From the arts to the ocean there’s a community in Australia that’s right for everyone. That’s why it’s important to get behind ideas that help build and strengthen communities and support the people that live in them.
Telstra is honoured to be supporting ideas that do this and more by using its people, technology and resources to help to make life easier for communities across Australia.
To help us achieve this, we are proud to have enlisted Jonathon Welch as our Community Champion.
So, if like him, community is a passion of yours, please keep up-to-date with all the latest issues on the blog and explore the Ideas For Good initiatives below.
