Transforming Australia’s democracy
We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation working to build a democratic Australia that is centred on the public interest and active public participation.
Our vision
A thriving democracy with diverse pathways and practices that are curious and credible, grounded in First Nations ways of being, where we come together to play an active and meaningful role for the common good and our shared future.
Our mission
To foster the reimagination of democracy through action, practices, movement-building and story-telling.
Our Work
We take a systemic, holistic, people-powered and collective impact approach to creating a democratic Australia.
Our key initiatives:
Transformative Democratic Education
We work with students and educators to equip and support young people to think critically about democracy and society, and be active and community-minded participants in society.
Community and movement building
We equip and empower people, communities and organisations to practice democracy in everyday life as the new norm, and to take action for broader systems change.
Reimagining democracy
We are driving a new narrative and mindset of democracy centred on active public participation, and where a healthy democracy is viewed as the pillar to a thriving society and planet.
