Our ambition is to help build an Australia renowned for its effectiveness in delivering community benefit and its capacity for social innovation. By working with the community and with our stakeholders in the not-for-profit, philanthropic, corporate and government sectors, we will direct the academic excellence of our teaching and research to social benefit and public good. We will bring a sense of urgency to the task of building a civil society that is open, inclusive and sustainable. We will be driven by our core commitments to collaboration, transparency through accountability and flexibility to respond rapidly to the evolving needs of the third sector.
The establishment of the Centre is an exciting development for Australia which I am confident will contribute to the building of effective collaborations between the private sector and the not-for-profit sector.
