About Project Australia
What if more of the good ideas in the world were given a real chance? What if we could
connect the right people with the right ideas? Surely, together, we could build stronger
communities and a truly sustainable society...
Who we are
Project Australia is a national organisation helping people launch ideas that seek to
create positive social change within communities.
Established in 2006, we are not linked with any political party, we are not-for-profit, secular and driven by younger people who value community, social justice, diversity, sustainability and creativity. To read more about our principles, please refer to our Charter. Our funding comes from unconditional public donations and we operate thanks to a growing team of volunteers from all around Australia and the input of various community leaders.
What we do
We do 3 important things:
-
We provide a way for you to share and discuss ideas for social change.
-
We create a space where you can discover what others are doing in your community and
across Australia.
-
We help you find the resources you need to take your ideas from concept to reality.
We make it possible for you to get involved, to do something positive and make a difference
in your community. We believe that real social change happens when good ideas connect with
the right people in a supportive environment. It’s about joining with like-minded people
and unlocking the potential to create real change.
