Stymie is an anonymous, online confidential harm reporting tool used in schools. Students can make notifications about all kinds of harm that may be happening to them or harm that they may know is happening to someone else. Schools allow students to use Stymie to help enhance their culture of care and to support their students to #saysomething without fear. Evidence in the form of screen shots can be used to support notifications, especially in cases of cyberbullying, sextortion or child exploitation and grooming.

Welcome Merchant assists consumers to reach refugee and asylum seeker-led businesses, and an increase in activity to the website as well as on the social media pages has been recorded. Our mission is to elevate the voices of refugee and asylum seeker entrepreneurs in Australia. Lack of connections and communication, as well as digital savviness often mean that many refugee-powered businesses in Australia operate in the dark and don’t receive the attention they deserve. As a social enterprise, Welcome Merchant acts as a directory, making it easy for conscious shoppers to find unique gift hampers and products and cultural events operated by underrepresented entrepreneurs, all while making a meaningful social impact.

Equality for all created from robolaw in a safe, recorded and secure environment to create immediate relief from the stress and anxiety around legal issues.


As a complicated two-sided marketplace, Learnmate has unique selling points and use cases for both sides of the market – students and tutors.

Learnmate eliminates the need to find, market, convert and manage students, including scheduling, payment processing and customer support. With our new platform, tutors will be able to build their brand and reputation which will also better inform student tutor selection.
