ADVANCE
CONNECTING
AUSTRALIANS
GLOBALLY

Advance.org programs are designed to connect global Australians with one another irrespective of where they live, study or work. They are designed to provide insights that come from those working in the field as recognised leaders making a significant impact globally. Connections are fostered by discussions on-line and in person, in intimate gatherings and large groups. The aim is to unlock the ideas, insights and the depth of expertise to provide Australia and Australians with the competitive advantage in global markets that comes from working together for the national good. The various programs are discussed below.


ADVANCE AWARDS

The Advance Awards recognise global Australians who exhibit remarkable talent, exceptional vision and ambition. The achievements are celebrated at the annual Advance Awards Gala dinner supported by Advance Patron, the Prime Minister of Australia and industry leaders.  MORE >
