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.
Respect First Peoples self-determination
We listen and learn from First Nations perspectives. We invest in First Peoples driving change.
Develop authentic relationships
We take the time to build relationships of trust and reciprocity as a foundation for generating positive change together.
Connect the dots and untie the knots
We take a holistic view and bring together diverse perspectives to work collaboratively and generate impact greater than the sum of their parts. We lean into complexity and work to unravel challenges alongside our partners.
Learn and evidence for impact
We listen, learn and demonstrate what works. We partner with curiosity and adjust our work based on new insights. We are open source and share what we learn.
Add meaningful value
We provide flexible resourcing and share our time, connections, platforms and skills. We are adaptive and responsive in our processes to changing contexts and needs.

Current Partnerships
These are some of the organisations and initiatives we partner with to make positive change together.
- 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.
- Storytelling for Change
Listening to Understand
The seeds of this story were planted in 2021 when we observed that communities were engaged in inspiring systems change work yet so few of their stories were being heard. We wanted to understand why and support them to tell their stories more effectively.
- Environment, Philanthropy
It’s Up to Us – Climate Funders Handbook
For ten years we’ve been partnering with communities with long-term plans to improve social, cultural, and economic outcomes for children and families. Over this time the impact of climate change has become a clear and present danger to the success of any gains towards equity and justice.
