Why we are doing this
Testing the testing test… looks like a test
Who is Techie Australia
Techie Australia is a registered charity. People and workplaces give us the laptops, phones and tablets they have finished with. We test them, wipe them to our published data standard, fix what needs fixing, and pass them on through community organisations that already know the people who need one.
Where the money goes
- 01
Sourced
Usually a donated machine. Sometimes we buy one, when nothing suitable has come in.
- 02
Wiped
To our published data standard, before anything else happens to it.
- 03
Fixed
A new battery, a charger, a fresh operating system. Most of the cost sits here.
- 04
Given
Through a community organisation that already knows the person.
Most of the hardware is donated, so your money usually goes on the parts, the testing and the hours. When nothing suitable has come in, it buys the machine outright.
