The Australian Community Network

The main benefit of this social network is that it helps to breed activity in the community, new connections are made with new people. The network helps to inform customers and also re-connect friends.

The Austcom network has been designed to support rural communities.

The Austcom network is self supporting, always growing and improvements are constant.

What makes the Austcom network valuable is:

1. The networking happens in a geographic community website that already serves many people in many ways.

2. The network is about us and supported by us in our communities.

3. As a not-for-profit community enterprise we are focussed clearly on building strong, sustainable communities from within.

Here are some more tangible benefits...
