Power our independent research
Regular donors are funding the Australia Institute's independent research, so that together we can hold governments to account and take on powerful opponents – like the fossil fuel industry – when it matters most.
Your regular support safeguards our independence, ensuring that we keep exposing truth, challenging power and shaping the public debate, every day – for a better, fairer Australia.
As a monthly supporter you'll receive:
- regular updates on the impact you're funding,
- complimentary event tickets, and
- complimentary copies of selected Australia Institute Press books.
Join the team behind the research.
When you give monthly, you power our economists, researchers and experts. We could not have the impact we do without your support.
Your impact
Some of the recent impact of our work includes:
- Playing a critical role in the Federal Government’s decision to redesign the Stage 3 tax cuts to deliver an additional $84 billion dollars from high income earners to low- and middle-income earners over the next ten years, the culmination of five years of Australia Institute research and advocacy
- The announcement of no less than six different inquiries into prices and price-gouging, following our influential research exposing how excessive corporate profits were largely responsible for the burst of inflation that followed COVID lockdowns.
- The establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, following a decade of research and advocacy from the Australia Institute exposing the serious flaws and gaps in our integrity system.
- Exposing how around 75% of Australia's gas is exported overseas, over half (56%) of gas exported from Australia attracts zero royalty payments, effectively giving a public resource to multinational gas corporations for free.
But we couldn't do it without supporters like you.
The Australia Institute is not government-funded. We are powered by donations from philanthropy and by thousands of supporters across the country who value research that matters, as well as grants and commissioned work.
For more than 30 years the Australia Institute’s independent, non-partisan research has played a critical role in shaping Australian public policy for the better. But we can't do it without you.
