The Investment Dialogue for Australia's Children
The Investment Dialogue for Australia's Children is a 10-year collaboration between government and philanthropy to improve the wellbeing of children, young people, and their families, by working with communities to make long-term, intergenerational change.
OUR VISION
An inclusive and equitable Australia where all children, young people, families and communities can fulfill their potential.
Based on this shared vision, the Investment Dialogue is a commitment that will empower communities to lead the way and build solutions that respond to local need.
The Dialogue is a new way of working. It supports a more aligned and targeted approach by coordinating investments from philanthropy and government, while working with communities and existing organisations on a range of projects and systems reforms that place children and young people at the centre.
OUR WHY
Turning dialogue into action
At the end of 2023, the Australian Government and philanthropic partners signed the Working Together Agreement outlining the Investment Dialogue’s shared 10-year vision, commitments, priorities and ways of working. Partners have agreed to collaborate on ambitious, measurable objectives that could not be achieved by government or philanthropy working on their own.
