Mission Digital, a social enterprise proudly powered by the House Technology Group, is a social enterprise dedicated to empowering for cause entities—from established charities to emerging social enterprises. We dismantle a common barrier: operational costs. By offering pro-bono website support and connecting them with a dedicated pool of usability testing volunteers, we equip these organisations to leverage technology effectively, fostering digital self-sufficiency. Our mission is to enable as many cause-based organisations as possible to make intelligent technological decisions, ensuring their vital work thrives. Because the Mission Digital program is entirely operated by small businesses, we aren t help to the same limitations as programs that are funded or subsidised by government or publicly listed companies. That means that we can take a chance on supporting organisations out to make a difference, regardless of their legal or financial structure.

We sell independent comprehensive financial education. Master money and reclaim your time with our independent, comprehensive financial education for adults and families. Our mantra is simple: financial independence (FI) makes you time rich (TR). Being time rich means choosing how you spend the seconds, minutes, hours and days that make up your life. You get to financial independence through mastering money: saving, buying assets and avoiding bad debt. It’s never too late – or too early – to take control of your financial future. We believe financial independence is achievable for anyone with an income and a long enough timeline.

We support Beyond Blue, A Stitch in Time, Mens Talk & Top Blokes though donating 50% of our profits. Our beef jerky is hand-made in small batches by our team of expert butchers and jerky masters.

We are one of a handful of brands in the world to have conducted microplastic research associated with fashion, you can read our report here. In my home based studio I work on minimal waste design. Here I make the minimalist surf leggings and activewear from either recycled plastic Repreve fabrics or cotton – designed for land and sea, the only leftover fabric when I make the leggings becomes a hair tie. I buy and print these Repreve fabrics in Australia, and the cotton is even knitted in Australia.

Only the Human (OTH) exists because we believe that everybody has a need to connect, express their creativity and contribute to their culture. We do this through comedy and play because we know laughter builds strong bonds between people – and everything we do depends on strong relationships. Only the Human believes that good improv comedy is mostly about being a good person. We trust one another, listen closely, and play recklessly to become the best version of ourselves on and off stage. Improv classes aren’t just for funny people, they re for people. Improv is about relationships, trust, and vulnerability and we find the funny in the every day, by being ourselves. Improv skills are life skills. We help people collaborate better, speak more confidently, and get out of their comfort zone. Our improv classes offer personal skills, professional skills, and funny skills all wrapped up in one.

We operate our meal gifting service for the express purpose of generating funding for WA-based grassroots emergency food relief programs. Too often the energy of a food relief organisation is directed away from core service activities to raise funds or apply for grants. We re dedicated to creating a reliable and sustainable source of funding for these organisations. We partner with HavenWell Inc (Victoria Park) and Feed the Little Children Inc (Broome) to help vulnerable West Australians experiencing food insecurity. Rather than reinventing the wheel and establishing a new food relief program ourselves, we support established and accredited food relief programs who are best placed to identify and meet food insecurity need in our community. The world doesn t need more food relief programs, existing food relief programs need more support.
