At Inclusee, we believe connection is more than a nice-to-have, it’s a lifeline. Every day, we see how a friendly conversation, a shared laugh, or learning something new can change the way people feel about themselves and the world around them. And now, we’re excited to share some big news: our Virtual Community Centre (VCC) is about to get even better.
In October, we’ll be launching an upgraded version of the Inclusee app, designed with you, our community, at the very heart of it. 
What’s Changing?
We’ve listened carefully to feedback from our members, volunteers, and partners, and we’re introducing new features that make the VCC more welcoming, more personal, safer and easier than ever to use. Here’s a little taste of what’s coming:
🎯 Seamless All-in-One Experience
Say goodbye to juggling multiple apps! Everything you need, from joining clubs to chatting with friends, is now integrated into one streamlined platform. No more Zoom links or external tools to worry about.
⚡ Instant Access to Community Life
Our redesigned dashboard gives you immediate access to today's activities and upcoming events through an intuitive timetable format. Finding your next favourite club has never been simpler.
📅 Updates & Reminders: Take control of your community experience with custom club reminders, personal calendar integration, and a dedicated community news hub that keeps you informed and engaged.
🌙 Round-the-Clock Connection: The upgraded app supports 24/7 social interaction, allowing you to meet new friends and enjoy meaningful one-on-one conversations anytime, in a secure and supportive digital environment.
🛡️Enhanced Safety: We’re strengthening our safety features so you can feel confident connecting online, even outside staffed hours. Your wellbeing is always our top priority.
💬Support: Need help? Book a tech or customer support call directly through the app. Our dedicated team is here to help you make the most of your community experience.
Why This Matters
Loneliness and social isolation are growing challenges in Australia, particularly for older adults and unpaid carers. Research shows that meaningful connection is a critical factor in maintaining good health and wellbeing.
But here’s the exciting part: connection can also be fun. Whether it’s swapping gardening tips, competing in trivia sessions, harmonising with friends in our singing clubs, or exploring a new hobby, our new VCC is about creating moments of joy, genuine belonging, and discovery.
A Thank You to Our Foundation Members
