This report outlines updated findings from a second research visit to Yuelamu community, a small community located in the Central Desert region of the Northern Territory (NT), about 43km west of the major community of Yuendumu, and 300km north-west of the regional centre of Alice Springs.

Our second research visit to Yuelamu was undertaken 15–20 May 2023. The RMIT University team worked with community research partner Pintubi Anmatjere Warlpiri Media and Communications (PAW Media) and co-researcher Mel Langdon, with support from local Central Desert Regional Council and Community Development Program staff. The team had a very productive week, undertaking 55 surveys with residents and conducting 8 interviews with agencies and community leaders.

This report presents research findings to date, compares survey results from 2022 and 2023, outlining changes in communications and media services and usage, and renewing the analysis section with 2023 findings and quotes. The proposed Digital Inclusion Plan has been updated based on community input and progress to date, as well as planned activities.

The report also presents 2023 Australian Digital Inclusion Index scores for Yuelamu relative to national averages and key findings from the first round of visits to 10 remote towns, communities, and homelands in 2022.
