Whilst the majority of the Ballarat community are able to participate in the connected ICT age, there are those who are left behind, and who will be increasingly disadvantaged by the progress of technology. Appropriate use of ICT can address justice within society and provide information and support access for a large proportion of a community and disenfranchised groups. This may be in the form of education and training, including Ballarat's own 'Cube', extending the public provision of ICT, and by checking all policies for their social justice impact. This is not philanthropy. If Ballarat is to achieve international status as an ICT enabled city, it must ensure that all of its citizens are given the chance to participate. Whilst the focus here is social justice, the other impact is on Ballarat being able to boast a technologically informed community and workforce, and one that is quick to adopt innovation and change.
