The OpenAustralia Foundation is a pioneering charity whose vision is to transform democracy in Australia. Their mission is to give all Australians the tools they need to effect the change they want. They create technologies that encourage and enable people to participate directly in the political process on a local, community and national level.
They do this through three websites, OpenAustralia.org, PlanningAlerts.org.au and ElectionLeaflets.org.au. These websites aim at finding better ways of making government, the public sector and political information freely and easily available for the benefit of all Australians. This transparency aims to encourage and inform people about how they can make a difference.
The OpenAustralia Foundation is a strictly non-partisan organisation. They are not the government, nor are they affiliated with any political party. They believe that they can help to reinvigorate Australia’s civic culture by using powerful and exciting new technologies to inform and empower people, to address the growing disconnect between the Government and the people who elect it.
