We hope you will join us and become involved in empowering Australian consumers,

The focus of our work is the federal electorate, of which there are 150 around Australia.
Each has about 150,000 people, and 100,000 voters. We bring people together in
each federal electorate to work locally to influence policy and opinion, through local
initiatives, events, campaigns and local media activities.
There are four ways you can do this.
Community Building National Network
You can participate in the Community Building
National Network. Its' focus is on a wide range of community building
efforts, including both practical initiatives and campaigns to influence policy.

innovations and through campaigns to influence policy.

with parents and teachers, and seeks political and policy support for measures
which empower grassroots people and drive innovation towards a Real Education
Revolution.

We
welcome people from all political parties, and those who are not members of any,
who support the objectives of the Centre.
When you fill
in the form below, select the name of your electorate from the drop-down menu.
In each
electorate we appoint Convenors. When you fill in the form, consider offering to
act as a Convenor in your electorate. This will involve working with others in
your electorate to communicate to your community and your MPs that empowering
ordinary people in local communities is good news, good policy, and good
politics.
Volunteer with the
Centre
When you fill in the form below to register your participation with the
Centre, consider volunteering through one of the three volunteer positions
available. It doesn't matter where you live, so long as you have internet
access.
