FORE Australia Overview
Too often, expert-led, evidence-based solutions don’t reach decision-makers at the right time or in the right format—stalling progress and missing critical moments for reform.
We collaborate with experts, advocates, and policymakers to build and maintain tools that Australia’s policy community can trust and turn to time and time again. Working across sectors and party lines, we create resources like the Policy Library of One-Page Briefs and training programs that make evidence-based ideas easier to find, weigh, and act on.
FORE Australia was founded by Lucy Skelton in 2024.

How is FORE Australia funded?
FORE Australia operates entirely on a volunteer basis, with no current external funding. Our work is made possible by the dedication of our team, who contribute their time and expertise.
While we run on a small budget, our impact continues to grow. We are actively seeking funding to expand our capacity, support our team, and ensure that more well-researched policy solutions reach the right decision-makers. If you’re interested in supporting our work, we’d love to hear from you (info@foreaustralia.com).
