Independence & Funding

TPDi’s independence is our most valuable asset. As a registered not-for-profit, our work is supported by external funding. We only accept funding from entities that agree to be disclosed publicly and commit to respect and promote TPDi’s independence.

This project was made possible by the generous support of the Australian Computer Society and the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources.

TPDi does not represent the views of any of our funders; all outputs represent solely the views of TPDi and/or the authors.
