Community Connections Australia (CCA) is a disability service provider based in Sydney, NSW. In 2013, CCA established a division called Jeenee Mobile to offer mobile technology to people with all types of disabilities. In case of an emergency or if a special need arises, users can hit the “Big Red Button” app on their Jeenee mobile phone, which puts them in direct contact with the company help centre – staffed by people knowledgeable and trained in disability issues. In 2018, Jeenee Mobile had tens of thousands of customers both with and without disabilities throughout Australia.
