WE ARE ON A MISSION TO SHAPE THE TRAJECTORY OF AUSTRALIA FOR THE BETTER.

ABOUT FFA

Why do we exist? Future Forward Australia (FFA) is a next-gen-led initiative focused on connecting and empowering people and organisations to create a better Australia for young people, those under 35. One that is sustainable, equitable, and driven by young people.
Together we are powerful. We want to build a collective movement that you can belong to, that connects and uplifts people, organisations, and issues that matter, and that has the heft and legitimacy to drive change.
We want to engage, upskill and connect young Australians by bringing people and ideas together in a way that can drive change.
FFA is committed to creating conversations, action, and change across these five pillars:
- Climate Change
- Economic Prosperity
- Education
- Health
- Equity & Inclusivity
Future Forward Australia is committed to empowering young people and driving sustainable progress for our country. Through a range of programs and initiatives, we strive to create a brighter future for all Australians, with youth voice at the centre.
We believe that young people (those under 35) have shared experiences and are bound by a collective feeling of deep uncertainty about the future of our climate, economy, and society at large. We think that those who have entered and are to enter adulthood off the back of the Global Financial Crisis have been impacted by intergenerational inequity and will carry this burden going forward. We aspire to provide a voice to connect and empower these people to address these issues and create a better future for all.
We aspire to achieve this through three key channels:
- Plugged-In: Our short-form news and current affairs series aimed at driving engagement with big issues, posted to our social media pages.
- Podium: Our longer form write-ups published on our websites providing opportunities for young people to give their ideas on the issues that matter to them.
- Future Connect: A directory network of organisations and individuals working towards a better Australia, housed on our website to direct action.
