Share your feedback on The Discussion Paper: Building the Australia We Want
Showing Our Work
The National Conversation Discussion Paper is a living draft we’re developing in the open, shaped by your ideas, insights, and questions.
In the spirit of transparency, we’re showing our work, sharing the thinking, gaps, and possibilities as they evolve. This isn’t a polished product; it’s an invitation to build something meaningful together.
The National Conversation isn’t a top-down consultation or a closed-door process. It’s an open, evolving collaboration, and this is your chance to help shape it.
We’ve outlined our early vision for how a truly collaborative, inclusive, and future-focused National Conversation could work.
Now we want to hear from you.
This is your chance to help shape how Australia decides on what matters most for our shared future, and to help design a process that strengthens our ability to plan for the long term.
Tell us what resonates, what’s missing, and what could make this process stronger. Every contribution helps shape the final model, to be released in early 2026.
Why Your Input Matters
Every idea, question, and comment helps shape a model that reflects who we are and what we value.
Your feedback will directly inform the final Report, to be released in early 2026, the blueprint for how we’ll bring the National Conversation to life.
This is about rebuilding trust, connection, and collaboration, starting right here.
Your feedback helps ensure The National Conversation:
Reflects the values and diversity of communities across the country
Strengthens transparency and legitimacy from the very beginning
Builds trust through openness, collaboration, and shared ownership
The National Conversation is for all of us, and it starts here, with you.
Now, we want to hear from you.
What resonates? What’s missing? What could make this stronger, fairer, and more representative of the Australia you know?
This is your invitation to help design the foundations of The National Conversation, a process built with Australians, not for them.

Let’s Dig Into the Details
The Building the Australia We Want Discussion Paper is an open invitation to do things differently.
It’s built on the belief that Australia’s future depends on profound collaboration, across generations, sectors, and communities, to overcome short-term thinking and shape long-term progress. Rather than adding another report to the shelf, this paper lays the groundwork for a new way of working together: one that connects ideas, amplifies what already exists, and creates the civic infrastructure needed to co-design Australia’s shared future.
