Impact Investing Australia is dedicated to growing the market for impact investing. Our vision is for a healthy, equitable and prosperous Australia delivered through a dynamic market for investments with a diversity of players and products.
We represent Australia as the national partner on GSG Impact and work closely with its member countries to grow opportunities for investments that deliver measurable social, environmental and cultural benefits alongside financial returns. Our priorities are to:
Scale impact and investment. Working collaboratively to accelerate financial and social innovation and ensuring capital flows to businesses that contribute to solutions.
Example: The Social Enterprise Development Initiative (SEDI) Grants program supported 56 organisations on their way to investment readiness and scale.
Build the field. Providing supportive infrastructure, tools and a framework that will create an environment in which scale can be achieved.
Example: We have consistently called for the establishment of an independent financial institution to mobilise more capital and transform the way Australia deals with social and environmental challenges. This will require support from government and major financial institutions in creating an impact investment wholesaler with the capital and mandate to drive impact investing in Australia.
Make it easier to participate. Raising awareness to make it easier for people to participate and have a positive impact.
Example: A significant amount has been achieved in the past decade to increase participation. We released our Benchmarking Impact Report 2025, which provides an evidence base of Australia’s impact investing market, offering data needed to guide investment decisions, inform policy and drive capital towards solutions that deliver measurable social and environmental outcomes alongside strong financial returns.
