National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. The dates for National Reconciliation Week remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. National Sorry Day is held on 26 May.
With the coronavirus pandemic triggering a spike in cyber attacks, illuminance Solutions are leading an international collaboration and forming new partnerships to boost security for Australia’s vulnerable nonprofit sector while creating jobs to fight future hackings. The new practise enables nonprofits to access cyber security expertise while staff are trained by international experts.
With the global crisis escalating, we are launching a Microsoft Power Platform Solution (incl. Power BI, PowerApps and Power Automate) for managing communication across an organisation all built on trusted Microsoft technology. The platform allows tracking of key data, communication and managing resources, everything health workers need in this time.
Crisis comes when they are least expected. Many are now facing challenges not having a crisis communication plan ready. Together with Microsoft, illuminance have designed a module added to the existing AvantCare capabilities, extending our product to meet the arisen need for a crisis management tool in the NFP sector, all built on Microsoft’s trusted PowerApps platform.
So far we have been and will continue to deliver projects and support as normal. We are being realistic with how COVID-19 is making an impact on us and on our clients and we have prepared and will continue to adapt to how at least the next six months may be. While it seems that the whole world is changing, we can with certainty say that we will continue to provide the professional service we are known for.
With around 45% of Australians born overseas or with at least one parent who was, Harmony Week is a popular way for workplaces to showcase and acknowledge their cultural diversity, and to consider and celebrate the many benefits WA gains from its diverse communities. An integrated multicultural Australia is a big part of our national identity.
We are proud to have many strong and professional women in our team. We support and encourage their professional growth and offer training, industry participation beyond the four walls of our office and also flexibility in working hours to better achieve a work / life balance for those that need to control their own schedule. Equality is not a women’s issue, it’s a business issue. We strive to do our bit.
The first Free Digital Literacy training for the Indigenous Australian community in Broome kicked off in the first quarter of 2020. The collaboration between illuminance Solutions and The University of Notre Dame Australia and their Broome Campus teach essential technology skills to contribute to the reduction of the digital literacy divide in the Indigenous Australian community.
At illuminance Solutions we have a very diverse and multicultural workforce with 19 nationalities, and because of this we are also a multilingual workforce. We have always been a very diverse team. We have age diversity and people with disabilities in addition to many different ethnicities and nationalities. And to celebrate United Nation’s International Mother Language Day 2020, we threw a Language Party!
Radio remains the most widely consumed medium because of its unique ability to reach out the widest audience and World Radio Day was launched by UNESCO in 2012. We have been on air twice talking about diversity and inclusion and how we support closing the digital literacy divide in our Indigenous Australian community.
