Your Data
There is no need to be concerned about your personal or corporate data when you donate technology. Every HDD, SSD, and USB device goes through a data destruction using specialised software which conforms to the NIST 800-88 standard.
If you require a certificate of data destruction for your devices, please talk with us and we can work with you.
Our Volunteers
The Tech Shed is staffed almost exclusively by volunteers from the community, Work-for-the-Dole, NDIS, and Community Services. The skills of our team range from beginners who are keen to learn, to those who have years of experience in the IT industry. This provides our volunteers with opportunities to gain IT and employability skills.
