Care Connect tackle the challenge of unused capacity with support services.
The Care Connect solution is to create a centralized booking system using Google calendars and a simple web interface.
Doti answer how we might we ensure there is a community safety net for every child in Australia to reduce the risk of homelessness?
The Doti solution to this challenge is to create a safe and secure physical and virtual community support network for all young people in Australia.
The Good Mates solution to this challenge is to provide a platform that brings together 15-23 year old young adults and people at and above the pension age. The young adults assist the pensioners and receive accommodation and a work opportunity that’ll lead to a profession in health care.
Homelessness and guidance for young adults leaving foster care in conjunction to support for aging community.
The Fair BnB solution to this challenge is to connect people looking for accommodation to share housing options.
Solving the problem of share housing.
Hope to see you there!
