What we do

Impact Investing Australia provides thought leadership, policy advice and programs which accelerate the growth of impact investing.

With Australia already taking its place at the forefront of growing global momentum, we seek to bring attention to the field and chart a course for achieving a vibrant, dynamic impact investment market that is both uniquely Australian and makes a rich contribution globally.   

Thought leadership

We build awareness and knowledge; demonstrate the importance and potential of impact investing and create understanding and confidence in the field. Through research and reports we provide insights and vision for achieving measurable social and environmental benefits with financial gain. For example, Benchmarking Impact provided a first look at the performance of impact investments in Australia and helped to inform decision making and identify and structure opportunities. 

Policy advice  

We advocate for policy change to enable positive social outcomes. Good government policy is critical to stimulating the market. We have developed policy priorities and are working with government to create a more supportive environment for impact investing, for example, our recommendation to establish a wholesaler, Impact Capital Australia.

Programs

We manage programs which grow impact investing such as the Impact Investment Ready Growth Grant. We share our recipients’ stories in cases studies and newsletters to unite and inspire people and grow participation in impact investing.
