Australia has a strong hand. Are we playing it well?
Do you believe Australia has the skills, resources and opportunity to prosper for generations to come?
CEDA and our members do. We believe that prosperity is built on two mutually reinforcing pillars - a strong economy and a strong social compact.
One without the other is not sustainable. We believe that government and industry must seek new ways to collaborate and deliver the best long-term outcome for Australia and Australians.
We need your ideas, leadership, commitment to action – and your support – to bring this vision to life.
- Deliver leading research and analysis from our team of economists on critical issues including housing, aged care, health care, skills and migration and the energy transition
- Engage government and industry in our work
- Convene expert thinkers to address long-term challenges.
- Consult and partner with our members to produce relevant industry insights
- Continue to build our member network – companies who are vested in sustainable long-term prosperity for all Australians
- Support our Communities of Best Practice, translating practical ideas into organisational action.
Bridging the gap - why philanthropy matters for Australia's long-term prosperity
Philanthropy has a vital role to play in strengthening the national economy and our social compact. Philanthropy has the freedom to invest in ideas, communities and long-term outcomes that might otherwise be overlooked. Its independence gives it the power to catalyse innovation, foster collaboration, and support initiatives that neither government nor business can effectively pursue alone. For over 60 years, CEDA has delivered new ideas and policy solutions. With your investment we can continue our work, helping shape Australia for generations to come.
