The only TV program in Australia dedicated to social good.
Broadcast on:
We celebrate impact-makers and game-changers across Australia in a 10-minute documentary, and facilitate conversations to empower viewers to make a positive impact in their circles of influence.
We are storytellers in the social impact space.
We are part of the social impact ecosystem.
We provide mainstream media exposure to social enterprise, community groups, business, charities, and individuals driven by passion and purpose to make a positive impact.
For us, it's all about partnership and collaboration with leaders of social good, supporters of visionaries, philanthropists and foundations, and people driven to make a positive difference.
Partners enable us to provide a national platform for impact-makers and game-changers to expand their reach.
Social Impact Areas.
We seek to build bridges of knowledge, understanding and empowerment over inequality, fairness and injustice across eight Social Impact Areas.
These Social Impact Areas provide a framework for partnerships, the stories we tell, and panel discussion topics, and hold us accountable to our partners and supporters.
Inspiring Stories.
We provide national television exposure and marketing collateral for impact-makers and game-changers, including:
- 10-minute TV documentary broadcast on 9GEM, Channel 9, 9Now and online,
- social media collateral,
- a choice of a video cutdown, pitch video or television commercial, and
- a 300 word article.
The documentaries are brand-funded, and all collateral can be used by partners for marketing and publicity, fundraising, brand awareness, and for exposure to new audiences.
Empowering Conversations.
We also facilitate conversations to empower viewers to make a positive impact in their circles of influence.
These are weekly panel discussions with industry experts and leaders in their field discussing social topics to enable and facilitate impact and change.
Panellists include representatives from RUOK?, Paul Ramsay Foundation, Salvation Army, Social Enterprise Australia, Wayside Chapel, Chaplaincy Australia, Australian Defence Force, and many others.
