Our vision is to see 100% of Australia’s leadership potential, female and male, equally contributing to our social and economic future. Our purpose is to promote equality of choice and opportunity for women and men. We do this by influencing workplace cultures and providing solutions for real and sustainable change by educating senior business leaders on the value of gender equity in leadership. We conduct research across Australia, which challenges mindsets and shifts organisation practices to fully realise the leadership potential of all women and men.

We believe everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home. StreetSmart takes action against homelessness. We raise vital funds and awareness for small, ‘hard to reach’ grassroots homeless services and projects. These organisations struggle for support, and a voice, in the community, yet provide front line services to people in need. Donations go to fund projects supporting people experiencing homelessness, or at risk, through provision of emergency aid and critical services, and the development of projects and programs that encourage social inclusion, empowerment and sustainable change. We keep it local by seeking out, supporting and partnering with smaller organisations and projects, in the communities where funds are raised. StreetSmart fulfils a unique and much needed role in the community that no other not for profit organisation has, on a national scale. Our funding is often critical for the small organisations we support. To date we have raised and distributed over $8.5 million to over 800 organisations.
