We’re The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI), an independent, not-for-profit organisation working across Australia.
We bring people, communities and organisations together to collectively tackle our toughest social challenges and build the futures we want.
What we do
We have over 12 years’ hands-on experience putting social innovation into practice across systems in Australia.
We are strategic partners, capability builders, consultants, connectors and facilitators, and we’re passionate about partnering with people, communities, philanthropy, government, NGOs and businesses to tackle Australia’s biggest social challenges.
We weave First Nations perspectives through everything we do at TACSI
We’re committed to furthering self determination through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led innovation.
We believe it is unacceptable that systems designed to support people maintain the ongoing impacts of colonisation and intergenerational trauma.
We have a responsibility to be part of this change.
