Australia is one of the safest, healthiest, and most generous countries in the world. Yet, our aid contribution is only 0.68% of the federal budget.
As global needs rise, Australia has given less. And that just doesn’t feel very Australian.
By committing to a modest increase in Australian aid to 1% of the Federal Budget, we can have a huge impact.
But you can make a difference.

“During the bushfires they helped us, it’s only right we help now.” – Sarah
“Without our help, young girls can’t get a fair go.” – Jono
“Aid means a world where no one is hungry, why wouldn’t you give to that?” – Lizzie
We can address our domestic challenges and support our neighbours simultaneously. The same factors driving the cost of living crisis here are causing severe poverty and instability abroad. By lifting our modest aid budget from 0.68% to just 1% of the Federal Budget, we can strengthen regional stability, unlock new economic opportunities, and still ensure that 99% of the budget remains focused on domestic priorities.
Ten of Australia’s top 15 export markets today are countries where we once provided aid, proving the long-term benefits of even a small increase. Supporting our neighbors is not just good for them; it’s good for Australia. But it won’t happen on its own.
