We recently welcomed local not-for-profit leaders to another OPC NFP Roundtable Lunch at The Boat House.

This session focused on Microsoft Copilot for Not-for-Profits, exploring ways organisations are using AI for everyday operations. We also discussed the emerging role of Copilot Agents and what they could mean for the future of the sector.

Thank you to Tracey from Microsoft, Alex from Pax8, and everyone who joined us for another engaging and insightful discussion.

Our Roundtable series continues to bring together NFP leaders to share experiences, discuss common challenges, and explore ways technology can support their organisations.

If you're a Canberra NFP interested in joining future sessions, we'd love to hear from you.

We had the pleasure of cooking for families at Ronald McDonald House ACT & South East NSW as part of their initiative. 🍽️ A home-cooked meal can provide comfort when it's needed most, and we were proud to play a small part in supporting families during a challenging time. ❤️🏠

We're grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting the incredible work RMHC does.

Last week, our team swapped the office for the racetrack at our Power Kart Raceway mingle! 🏁

Safe to say there was plenty of "friendly" competition.

It was great to attend the Hands Across Canberra Tech for Good Lunch and connect with so many organisations passionate about strengthening our community.

It was great to come together to support the Vinnies Night Patrol and learn more about the vital work they do every night to support people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability across our community.

Sometimes, making a difference starts with the simplest things - a conversation, a hot drink, a warm blanket.

We are proud to continue supporting Vinnies Canberra/Goulburn and the important work they do to make a difference. 💙

Not‑for‑profits are trusted with some of the most sensitive information in our communities, from volunteer and donor records to health information, membership data, and images associated with childcare, aged care and vulnerable people. Protecting this information is not only a regulatory requirement, but fundamental to maintaining trust.

While policies provide an important framework for staff, governance cannot rely on policy alone. OPC works with NFPs to understand how information is collected, accessed, secured and retained, then implements the technical controls needed to support those policies in practice. This helps protect sensitive information, strengthens governance, and provides audit‑ready reporting to demonstrate legislative compliance.

Protecting community trust starts with protecting community data. Reach out to OPC to learn how we can help strengthen your data governance approach.

We had the pleasure of supporting the De Bortoli Wine & Racing Luncheon at Thoroughbred Park last week, including sponsoring one of the races on the day.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with Canberra's business community, strengthen relationships and enjoy a great afternoon of racing and networking. Thanks to the Canberra Racing Club team for hosting a fantastic event. 🏇

Recently, members of the OPC team joined Vinnies Night Patrol for an evening and gained firsthand insight into the incredible work being done to support people experiencing homelessness and hardship across Canberra and Queanbeyan.

The dedication and compassion of the volunteers, was a powerful reminder of the impact that community connection can have. Whether it was serving meals, making a hot drink, providing essential supplies or simply taking the time to have a conversation.

We’re proud to continue supporting Vinnies Canberra/Goulburn and the vital work they do to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable people across our region. 💙

Happy Donut Day!

At OPC, we believe great tech support should come with a side of something sweet.

Our team is often out on site helping our clients stay connected, and if we turn up with donuts, that’s just our way of saying thanks for having us.

Fun fact: The classic donut hole wasn’t just for looks it was created to help the dough cook evenly all the way through!

Because good partnerships (and good networks!) are built on reliability… and the occasional sprinkle of fun.
