About All Together Now

All Together Now’s mission is to educate Australians about racism. We do this by imagining and delivering innovative and evidence-based projects that promote racial equity. We are community driven; we utilise partnered approaches, and our work is intersectional.

As a not-for-profit organisation seeking systemic and behavioural change, the organisation’s work seeks depth rather than breadth, producing programs and training that create sustainable, long-term change.

All Together Now’s team consists of passionate and skilled people who are committed to social justice. Organisational wellbeing and mental health are prioritised and discussed openly.
