About The Lab

The Digital Readiness Lab is Australia's national body for children's Digital Readiness. We measure how ready children are for digital life, we define what readiness means, we build the standards and tools others work to, and we assess organisations against them. The Lab was founded in 2026 by Rinat Strahlhofer.
