ETHICAL & INDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGY ADVISORS
Daniel McKinley, CEO
We're inspired by organisations who exist to make the world better. Their impact is why Dog & Bone exists.
While our expertise is in technology, we do it to enable the people who are working hard to improve the world at our client's businesses.
Over 20 years of working with NFPs and impact-driven enterprises, we've learnt the challenges, pitfalls and opportunities and how to make it work.
Technology is hard to navigate, and we don’t think it should be that way. Dog and Bone will provide clarity, honesty, and the right solution to achieve your goals.
We take ethics seriously, that's why we're B Corp Certified ensuring we uphold high standards.

We audit our ethics.
Bold claims are all well and good - we verified our ethics by becoming a B Corp through a rigorous auditing of our governance, treatment of staff, customers, environment and the community. We do this to ensure we run an ethical and sustainable business.
We audit our impact.
While technology is all about improving our clients businesses, we often reduce their costs significantly. We love the impact this can have - often reinvesting savings in fast tracking their strategy and directly helping people in need.
In the last year we helped our clients identify savings worth over $16M through our procurement capability.
Better yet most of these savings are recurring, enabling ongoing impact & innovation.
“I love that Dog and Bone works with the NFP and Government sectors because by assisting these organisations we can directly impact the communities they serve.”

Case Studies
UC Strategy
Beyond Blue help Australians achieve their best possible mental health.
We supported them with an Independent RFP process and strategy for their Unified Communications.
Moving their telephony, document collaboration and instant messaging to the one platform meant that they had a seamless transition to remote working for the entire organisation.

Our series looking into the great work our clients are doing.
Anglicare Victoria: Using Technology to Support Thousands of Families
Anglicare Victoria serves tens of thousands of Victorians every year, working to empower them to achieve their full potential, especially working in child protection.
We sat down with Dean to talk about the impact they’re making, how a pivotal moment in his life made him rethink the work he was doing and how technology has enabled their front line staff to deliver better care, in a more compassionate and personal way.
"It was fantastic that they were able to support us with our UC strategy before having to shift the entire organisation to remote work. The transition was seamless.”
