Economic Justice

Local economies build community ownership and power supported by institutions safeguarding an equitable and sustainable future.

About

Economic justice means ensuring everyone can find employment, meet their living needs, and live a good life - no matter who they are or where they come from. It also means building an economy, that supports planetary wellbeing now and into the future.
 
Australia’s economy is becoming increasingly inequitable and unsustainable. As a community foundation we are working with our partners and supporters to address economic injustice in place whilst also advocating to drive policy change that shapes a more inclusive economic future.
