Our Team
We’re building a coalition of volunteer cyber first responders to help Australians regain control of their digital lives.
At the Digital Resilience Project, volunteers are not simply extra support – they are the capability that makes our mission possible.
Our community brings together experienced professionals from cybersecurity operations centres, consulting, intelligence, investigations, and security teams to provide the depth of expertise needed to respond to technology-facilitated abuse safely and effectively.
United by a shared sense of purpose, our volunteers bring not only technical expertise, but care, professionalism, and commitment to meaningful outcomes.
Our Volunteers bring specialist Cyber and Intelligence expertise together to deliver safe, practical support where its needed most.
We are helping strengthen Australia’s emerging digital safeguarding ecosystem.
Volunteer Roles
CYBER VOLUNTEER – MOBILE DEVICE SECURITY
Help people regain control of the devices they rely on every day
Mobile phones and personal devices are deeply connected to modern life – but when misused, they can enable monitoring, coercive control, and ongoing surveillance. As a Cyber Volunteer in Mobile Device Security and Forensics, you’ll apply your technical expertise to identify signs of compromise, assess digital safety risks, and translate complex findings into practical, survivor-safe guidance.
You’ll help uncover how access may be maintained across devices and accounts, support safer remediation pathways, and ensure technology empowers rather than endangers the people who depend on it. Your work directly reduces harm and helps restore confidence, safety, and control.
CYBER VOLUNTEER – HOME NETWORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
Help make home feel safe again.
Home networks quietly power everyday life – but when misconfigured or compromised, they can enable ongoing surveillance and coercive control. As a Cyber Volunteer in Home Networks and Infrastructure Security, you’ll apply your technical expertise to uncover hidden risks, strengthen digital boundaries, and translate complex findings into practical, survivor-safe guidance.
You’ll help identify where systems fail, close security gaps, and ensure technology protects rather than endangers the people who rely on it. Your work directly reduces harm and restores safety in the place that matters most – the home.
CYBER VOLUNTEER – IOT AND VEHICLE CYBER SECURITY
Secure the connected world around people.
Smart homes, trackers, and connected vehicles can be misused to monitor and
intimidate. As an IoT and Vehicle Cybersecurity Volunteer, you’ll assess these technologies for safety risks and help prevent surveillance, tracking, and/or
unauthorised access.
You’ll apply your cyber security knowledge to evaluate real-world threats across smart ecosystems and translate technical insights into practical protections. Your expertise helps ensure that everyday technology is not used to cause harm.
OSINT VOLUNTEER
Turn open-source intelligence into protective insight.
Publicly available information can unintentionally expose people to risk. As an OSINT Volunteer, you’ll use ethical, lawful open-source research to identify digital footprints, exposed personal data, impersonation risks, and other vulnerabilities that may compromise safety.
Your work transforms information into prevention – helping survivors understand their exposure and take steps to protect themselves. You’ll develop safe methodologies, contribute to training, and be part of a professional community applying intelligence skills for good.
INTAKE & TRIAGE VOLUNTEER – DIGITAL SAFETY SUPPORT
Help make the first step feel safe.
When someone reaches out to the Digital Resilience Project, your voice may be the first one they hear. As an Intake & Triage Volunteer, you’ll guide people through a calm, structured conversation that turns chaos into a clear plan. Using our trauma‑informed intake tools, you’ll listen carefully, capture key details about their digital and personal safety, and help us understand who needs urgent support first.
You’ll translate complex situations into clear risk levels, flag red‑flag concerns for our safeguarding and clinical leads, and make sure every case lands with the right cyber specialist. Your steady presence helps survivors feel believed, reduces the risk of anyone slipping through the cracks, and ensures our technical volunteers can do their best work – safely, ethically, and in the right order.
EDUCATION VOLUNTEER – DIGITAL SAFETY TRAINING & CONTENT
Help turn hard‑won lessons into everyday protection.
Knowledge is a powerful safety tool. As an Education Volunteer with the Digital Resilience Project, you’ll help translate complex cyber and abuse‑prevention concepts into clear, practical learning experiences for the people who need them most.
You’ll support bespoke in‑person and online workshops for community organisations, co‑create live online seminars for victim‑survivors, and help develop engaging eLearning content that front‑line workers and survivors can access on demand.
By turning specialist expertise into accessible training, you’ll equip services to spot digital red flags earlier, empower survivors to take safer next steps, and help build a sector that is confident responding to technology‑facilitated abuse
