Civil Society is where we come together around a common goal. It’s where we gather with friends, colleagues, members, or neighbours to connect, play, make art, share culture, defend our rights, practice our faith and care for each other.

Strengthening Australian Civil Society brings people from across Australia together to share stories, experiences and expertise about new or different ways of doing things, bold and creative initiatives and innovations, and about what’s worked and what hasn’t – especially in the face of crises such as COVID-19 or bushfires.

By focusing on these four key themes we will collect and share stories, lessons, tips and tools from across Australia that can help us emerge stronger from crises like the Covid-19 pandemic.
