Justice & Equity
We are a family foundation committed to a just and equitable Australian society that is caring, ethical, and recognises and respects our First Peoples.
A good society is socially, culturally, environmentally, and economically prosperous for all. We envision an Australia where communities have the agency to drive the change they want to see, where governments collaborate to reimagine more equal and just systems, and together we shape a society in which we are proud to raise our children.
Our Work
We provide long-term funding, build connections, support learning and advocate alongside those working towards a better society.
How we Partner
Our principles of action guide how we partner with others.
Current Partnerships
These are some of the organisations and initiatives we partner with to make positive change together.
- Education, Karrkad Kanjdji Trust
Educating Future Custodians with Karrkad Kanjdji Trust
Education underpins individual, family and community development with benefits to health, social mobility, employment, economic growth and equality. It is a basic human right that also has cascading positive impacts on mitigating climate change and nature loss. As a wealthy nation with compulsory education, every child in Australia should have access to quality, full time teaching.
- Philanthropy, Place Based Change
Targeting Entrenched Disadvantage Roundtable
Improved collaboration among government, philanthropy, and communities is crucial for creating lasting positive changes for children and families.
- Education, Our Place
Walking alongside – revisited
In 2023, with more than 5 years of experience and learnings from the Partnership and implementation in nine diverse communities, Our Place has developed Walking alongside – revisited as the next chapter in their Walking Alongside series.
“The time is not far off when companies will have to justify their worth to society, with greater emphasis placed on environmental and social impact than straight economics.”
Dick Dusseldorp AO - 1973
"There are two relationships. The relationship between people and relationship between people and the land. The relationship between people is always contingent on the relationship between land and people."
Dr Mary Graham - 2021
