The Uluru Dialogue is the cultural authority of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, hosted by the Indigenous Law Centre at UNSW, it is Australia’s only Indigenous law centre and has led constitutional recognition for the past 25 years. Co-chaired by Professor Megan Davis AC and Pat Anderson AO, we designed and conducted the First Nations Regional Dialogues that culminated in the historic 2017 consensus at Uluru.
In 2023, 6.2 million Australians voted Yes to constitutional recognition. That places us at the helm of the largest social justice movement in our nation’s history. Constitutions matter and recognition remains unfinished business.
We are a small team with big reach—combining deep legal expertise, nationally trusted voices, and a globally recognised and proven model of dialogue. We are ready to keep building the case for reform, strengthen civic understanding, and prepare the ground for what comes next.
Our current priorities include:
– Rebuilding community consensus through renewed Dialogues
– Expanding our supporter base and communications capacity
– Developing a national civics education program
– Mapping laws and policies that have impacted First Nations since 1788 (Towards Truth)
– Demonstrating what a Voice could do—starting with a pilot on climate and Country
All donations are tax-deductible via our host organisation, UNSW, and go solely to our work.
The referendum was not the end. We are steadfast in our commitment to the Uluru Statement’s vision: a more participatory democracy, and a stronger, more united Australia.
History shows that minds change, but only if we keep walking on. Together, we can.
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is a coalition of civil society groups working to promote adherence to and implementation of the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). ICAN was awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to highlight the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons and its role in achieving the Treaty. ICAN Australia leads national efforts to build public and political support for Australia to sign and ratify the TPNW.
Our Vision and Mission
Our vision is a world free of nuclear weapons. Our mission is to empower people across Australia to compel our government to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We want to prevent nuclear war and eliminate nuclear weapons by changing policies, shaping public discourse, and building political momentum.
The Issue
Nuclear weapons remain an existential threat. Australia has not yet joined the global ban on nuclear weapons, despite the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of their use. ICAN addresses this by working to shift Australia’s position and align it with international humanitarian law and growing global support for prohibition.
Why Us
ICAN is uniquely placed to lead this work through our global network, strong advocacy track record, and partnerships with survivors, medical professionals, First Nations communities, and civil society.
Current Priorities
In 2025, we are focused on building momentum for Australia to join the TPNW, commemorating the 80th anniversaries of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and countering moves to host nuclear weapons in Australia.
This six-month advocacy project will mark the 80th anniversaries of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings with a coordinated national campaign to advance nuclear disarmament in Australia. Anchored in the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons, the project will elevate the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) as a credible and necessary alternative to nuclear deterrence.
ICAN Australia will engage directly with federal, state, and territory parliaments to build cross-party support for nuclear disarmament and promote motions acknowledging the anniversaries and affirming support for the TPNW. We will support educational events and survivor testimonies across the country—including public forums, school and university talks, and commemorative ceremonies—centred on the lived experience of nuclear harm.
A media strategy will ensure sustained national attention on the TPNW, Australia’s position, and the legacy of nuclear weapons. We will also re-engage unions to reaffirm and renew their support, building on long-standing relationships within the labour movement.
This project will connect history with urgent contemporary policy change, giving voice to survivors and ensuring nuclear disarmament remains a live political issue. Funding will support staffing, event delivery, campaign materials, media production, and the coordination of parliamentary and union outreach.
The Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO) is the national voice of people with disability and their families in Australia. Founded in 2003, AFDO is a Disabled Peoples Organisation (DPO), governed and led by people with disability. It works as a Disability Representative Organisation (DRO), to champion the rights of over 4.5 million Australians with disability through its network of member organisations.
Our Vision: That all people with disabilities must be involved equally in all aspects of social, economic, political and cultural life.
Our Mission: To harness the collective power of people with disability to create a community where everyone is equal.
AFDO addresses systemic exclusion and discrimination impacting people with disability. As the only peak uniting both disability-specific and cross-disability organisations, AFDO amplifies diverse voices in policy development, advocacy, and public discourse. Key priorities include advancing the recommendations of the Disability Royal Commission, advocating for improvements to the NDIS, ensuring accessible public transport, and promoting equitable aged care, employment and housing.
AFDO’s recent initiatives include the National Inclusive Transport Advocacy Network, policy submissions to strengthen disability rights, the Business Inclusion & Diversity Service supporting SMEs to employ people with disability, and global advocacy through the UN ECOSOC and Disabled Peoples’ International.
Funding helps AFDO to expand these programs, build member capacity, and directly influence policy for a more inclusive Australia.
While concern about climate change is widespread, most Australians don’t know where to start or how to make a difference. Extreme weather events, such as bushfires and floods, create brief moments of heightened motivation, but without clear pathways to action, this energy is often lost. Past climate initiatives have struggled to maintain momentum after these events, leaving widespread concern but little follow-through.
Project Planet solves this by building an accessible, user-friendly climate action hub that directs people toward meaningful solutions tailored to their interests, resources, and influence. By capturing and sustaining engagement, we help translate concern into long-term action, strengthening Australia’s climate movement.
We are the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), Australia’s national environment organisation.
Since 1965, we’ve protected the nature we all love – our unique wildlife and our beautiful beaches and bush.
Driven by the power of people, we won World Heritage listing for the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadu National Park, and returned precious water to the rivers of the Murray-Darling. We influence governments and businesses to protect the animals, rivers and reefs close to our hearts and hold decision-makers to account without fear or favour. Everything we do is evidence-based and helps nature and people thrive for generations to come. We won’t give up until Australia’s nature is protected and regenerated.
We champion big, bold solutions for big impact because nature is in crisis and needs us, now.
We use evidence-based advocacy, courage, creativity and common sense to fight for nature’s right to thrive.
We work together with First Nations People who have cared for Country since time immemorial.
We advocate without fear; we expose corruption and destruction and create real solutions for a better future.
We champion our trees, communities, reefs and wildlife.
We show up, speak out and act.
Your support enables us to:
– Disrupt business as usual that harms nature
– Create solutions for nature and people
– Activate people to stand up for nature
