The Global Australian Report

Australians living overseas are active across all aspects of international life. The Global Australian Report examines critical issues and opportunities facing Australians globally. It delves into the experiences of Australians living abroad, focusing on their connections with the Australian community and their perceptions upon returning.

The goal of the report is to improve understanding, inform action & harness the power of Australia's global community.  Our survey is also an opportunity to be heard & have your say on what you're experiencing.

The Global Australian Foundation

Established in June 2024, The Global Australian Foundation's mission is to advance Australia's culture and education, while providing benefit to the Australian public by:

  • promoting culturally significant works globally
  • supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged Australian artists through artistic development, audience development and industry development.
  • working with government at all levels to ensure that the interests of Australia's diaspora community are represented in regard to the public decision-making process.
  • providing a free forum for all people in the diaspora community to be engaged, discuss best practice and share knowledge to enhance the future of Australian culture.

The Global Leaders Circle

The Global Leaders Circle is a group of accomplished Australian executives working to spur economic growth, develop the workforce and improve the climate for Australian business.

The circle consists of a diverse group of individuals, businesses, and organisations united by a shared goal of advancing globally. Members act as foundational supporters who help us achieve our mission and advocate effectively.

Key issues raised along with our research will be incorporated into a playbook for Australia and Australians to advance globally beyond the political cycle.

Global Leaders Circle members exchange ideas and solutions, forge partnerships to tackle key corporate and societal challenges, and share perspectives with Government & international decision makers.

Global Talent & Re-integration Program

We know from our research and dialogue with our community that returning to Australia is challenging.  We offer essential advice, tips and resources to help make a soft landing when Australians abroad decide it’s time to return home.

Participants are also invited to tailored events to meet others who have returned, receive practical help settling in, and receive tips to make the move successful.  Advance Global Australians also partners and connects them with other local community groups where they are located to make the return easier.

As part of our business model, we will partner with recruitment and professional companies with aligned values to deliver services to our community.
