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
