Sustainable Futures Australia Logo

Since 1987, we've been at the creative edge of sustainability planning, design and education.

 

Our Mission

Over the past 30 years, we've developed a range of innovative and effective tools, processes and practises that help individuals, small community groups, large organisations and whole communities engage in co-creating a sustainable and regenerative future. Our current mission is to share these sustainability tools; train facilitators in these social technologies; and teach new paradigm thinking to empower and resource a new generation of changemakers.


“Working with Sustainable Futures Australia
has been a productive partnership towards
achieving a strategic plan that brings
together agencies, organisations and
individuals in a creative, strategic visioning
process that aligns all key stakeholders
toward a common goal.”
— Cam Mackenzie, Principal Advisor, Qld. Dept. of Education Training & the Arts
