AUSTRALIA
Across our ancient, vast and sunburnt country, there’s a growing movement of leaders working to redesign our economy — from valuing growth and profits for some, to wellbeing for all.
Welcome!
We’re the Australian hub of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance. We’re here to change our economy’s goals, drivers and measures of success — from mere growth and profits for some, to wellbeing for people and planet.
Join the movement.
From purpose-driven business to forward-thinking governments, universities, professional networks, think tanks, advocacy groups and community organisations, we’re building an Australia that is just and fair, ecologically healthy and powered by an economy that sustains wellbeing for all.
WEAll Australia is the hub for Australian leaders and organisations from every space and sector to connect, gather, learn and support one another — as we continue to catalyse and accelerate this transformation.
It’s an exciting time for Australia.
Drawing on more than 60,000 years of wisdom about caring for people and Country, we see First Nations knowledge and systems thinking ready to inspire the world.
We see the rise of our purpose-driven businesses, and new approaches to regenerate both our farms and our cities.
We see our Commonwealth Treasury working to ‘measure what matters’, and states and territories ramping up their own wellbeing frameworks too.
We see leaders from all parties, sectors and generations standing up for our shared human needs and goals.
We know the economy underpins so much of what we all care about: building good lives and on a healthy planet. It’s time to harness our energy, intelligence and innovation for more than just economic growth.
Announcements
Join us for a special screening of Common Wealth, a new documentary exploring the ideas behind the wellbeing economy and the growing global movement to create economies that serve people and planet.
Common Wealth is a new documentary that follows filmmaker Kane Guglielmi on a journey across eight countries, exploring inspiring alternatives to conventional economic thinking. Through stories from around the world, the film challenges conventional ideas of prosperity and offers a hopeful vision for how we can build an economy that helps both people and nature thrive.
We’d love to see members of the WEAll Australia community at one of these upcoming Q&A screenings in New South Wales:
Sydney Q&A Screening | Thursday 6 August | Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace, Cremorne
This special screening features a live Q&A with the film’s director, Kane Guglielmi, and guest panellists David Pocock (Independent Senator), Edwina Bartholomew (journalist, Sunrise), and Rob Stokes (Faith Housing Australia), exploring how Australia can build an economy that works better for people and planet.
Avoca Beach Q&A Screening | Wednesday 5 August | Avoca Beach Theatre
This special screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring filmmaker Kane Guglielmi, WEAll Australia Director Di Bowles, Tanya Mottl (Ecovillage Ambassador), and Jackie Pearson (CEN and Truepenny Media), offering an opportunity to continue the conversation about the future of Australia’s economy.
If you can’t make either of these events, Common Wealth is screening at cinemas across Australia and New Zealand. You can find a screening near you on the film’s website: https://garage.com.au/common-wealth/
