Client
The Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency (VACCA) is a state-wide Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) servicing children, young people, families, and community members. VACCA is the largest of its kind in Australia. They have protected and promoted the rights of Aboriginal children and families for over 40 years.

Increased efficiencies due to time savings from outsourced TEM
Reduced risk of bill shock during shift to remote work at outset of pandemic
Improved IT services to organisation
VACCA now has the telco management (including TEM and vendor management) outsourced so more time and money could be spent on their service delivery to the community.
We are so happy to have found a professional, reliable and trustworthy partner with digital and telecommunications expertise and resources.
It has been great to have Dog and Bone manage our Telco & Data Network RFP tender process and manage our expanding mobile fleet and mobile plans ongoing, through their telco management.
The monthly Dog and Bone telco reporting and analysis is second to none and the services have resulted in substantial cost savings for VACCA.
Working with Dog and Bone gives me peace of mind; I know we will receive sound advice and recommendations in the best interest of our organisation.
