One in two Australians believe we’ll never see an Indigenous Prime Minister.
We believe it can happen.
Our campaign launches as Newspoll research reveals that just 23% of Australians believe they will see an Indigenous Prime Minister in their lifetime.
Without access to quality schooling or university qualifications, the path to leadership — in Parliament, in boardrooms, in every place decisions are made — is blocked before it even begins.
Through scholarships and career support, AIEF is changing that.
Over 90% of AIEF students stay at school and complete Year 12 — well above the national average.
Not all of them will want to be Prime Minister. But every one of them deserves the chance to lead.
