About Seer Data & Analytics

Seer is a tech start-up that works with communities and policy makers to help people use data and machine learning for social good. We do this by making data easier to access to everyday people so they can gain greater insight into problems they are trying to solve, such as improving educational outcomes for young people, reducing crime and violence, and delivering new services to people in our community who need help. The work Seer is doing is backed by Telstra through the muru-D accelerator.

Our Chair is Deanne Weir, a former media lawyer and executive turned investor, producer and company director, who is passionate about storytelling, change-making and gender equality. Rod Johnson, creator of SpringSource and successful tech entrepreneur, is also on our Board.

Seer is working in the most challenged communities in Australia from Tennant Creek to Bourke, Shepparton to Rockhampton and Mt Druitt in Western Sydney to give people access to data and analytics to ultimately improve lives.
