It’s time for down Under to step up.
Australia is one of the safest, healthiest, and most generous countries in the world.
Yet, our aid contribution is only 0.68% of the Federal Budget.
As global needs rise, Australia has given less.
And that just doesn’t feel very Australian. But you can make a difference.
By committing to a modest increase in Australian aid to 1% of the Federal Budget, we can have a huge impact.

Why should we increase aid?
Two decades of progress fighting infectious diseases, empowering women and girls and building education and economic prosperity stalled when the Pandemic hit.
Now, overlapping challenges are hitting all at once.
– 1 in 5 children are living in conflict zones.
– 733 million people are chronically undernourished.
– Rising seas threaten our Pacific neighbours’ homes.
Decisions made by this generation can put the world back on the path to progress, peace and prosperity.
This is best for the world and best for Australia. But it won’t happen on its own.
we can do both
helping here & abroad
We can address our domestic challenges and support our neighbours simultaneously. The same factors driving the cost of living crisis here are causing severe poverty and instability abroad. By lifting our modest aid budget from 0.68% to just 1% of the Federal Budget, we can strengthen regional stability, unlock new economic opportunities, and still ensure that 99% of the budget remains focused on domestic priorities.
Ten of Australia’s top 15 export markets today are countries where we once provided aid, proving the long-term benefits of even a small increase. Supporting our neighbours is not just good for them; it’s good for Australia. But it won’t happen on its own.
