Our focus areas and impact missions

We seek to uplift communities, support gender equality, protect natural ecosystems and respond to emerging threats and challenges.

Two young First Nations girls play with brightly coloured beads on bead mazes that are sitting on a pine table. In the background can be seen black safety fences, showing that this is in an early learning centre.

Communities

All children in Australia reach their full potential in thriving communities.

A mother and daughter pose smiling at the camera, with their faces close together. The mother has honey blonde hair and wears a sand coloured knitted jumper, the daughter has dark hair and is wearing a light blue buttoned shirt with a floral pattern.

Gender Equality

All people realise their inherent freedom and equality.

A New Holland Honeyeater, a small bird with black and white mottled body, a black head and white ear patch, and a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on the tail. The bird sits on a a bright red, pink and yellow banksia flower. Another banksia flower and the serrated-edge, grey green foliage can be seen in the background.

Natural Ecosystems

Healthy ecosystems safeguarded for all generations.

An elderly woman holds her hand to her mouth, looking as though she might cry. She wears a light coloured jacket and has a grey and white striped scarf covering her hair. On either side of her are tall and thin yellow candles, on ornate brass plates. In the background are other men and women and arches of the cathedral.
