Listen to ACFP’s Executive Director David Kelly talk with Founder Bronwyn Kelly about the Vision for Australia Together in this Episode of the Australia Together Podcast.
Australia Together
Australian Community Futures Planning has been experimenting for the last four years with a planning process and format that can be used by any and every Australian to chart a safe course to the future they prefer. The planning process is called National Integrated Planning & Reporting, and the plan being produced by use of that process is called Australia Together.
This is Australia’s first community driven, long term, integrated plan for the nation. It’s a comprehensive plan for our wellbeing and security that starts with a Vision about the future Australians have said they want to share - the Vision for Australia Together.
The Vision for Australia Together
The Vision for Australia Together is a distillation of what Australians have been saying they want for their future as individuals and for their nation as a whole whenever they’ve been asked about that in surveys and other community engagement and research programs in the 21st century. It’s their descriptions of the country and society they want to live in. It summarises those descriptions on one page in 17 lines.
Based on this Vision, ACFP has been able to coordinate production of drafts of an integrated plan containing strategies for safe travel toward the future described in the Vision. These drafts are getting stronger in terms of their capacity to help Australians make the Vision for Australia Together a reality - possibly within a decade - and to travel to that destination at the lowest possible long run cost.
Any Australian can make suggestions about the Vision and the plan at any time here and here. Everyone is welcome to participate.
