Introduction

Dear [Name/Partner/Stakeholder],

We are pleased to introduce The Australian Advocate, a new national monthly publication dedicated to social advocacy, politics, and human-interest stories.

Founded by the Australian Advocacy Group (AAG), this initiative will provide an independent platform for Australians striving toward social justice, community resilience, and policy reform.

The Australian Advocate will be issued on the first Friday of each month, with the first issue expected to launch by 5 December 2025.
Initially available online only, the publication will be distributed via a secure subscription platform, ensuring editorial independence and long-term sustainability.


Vision and Purpose

The Australian Advocate is grounded in the belief that authentic journalism drives positive change.

Our mission is to highlight the stories that shape Australia’s social and political landscape — from grassroots community movements and regional advocacy to national policy, environment, and human-interest stories.

We aim to bring clarity, fairness, and integrity to issues that matter most to Australians, offering a balanced and inclusive national voice.


Publication Model

  • Frequency: Monthly (First Friday of each month)
  • First Issue: Expected 5 December 2025
  • Format: Digital publication (website and newsletter)
  • Access:
    • Free subscription for AAG members
    • $5/month for non-members

Each issue will feature investigative journalism, advocacy reports, opinion pieces, and community-submitted content, developed under professional editorial standards and ethical guidelines.


Funding and Revenue Streams

To maintain both financial independence and operational sustainability, The Australian Advocate will be funded through the following channels:

  1. Advertising Partnerships
    Selective and values-aligned advertising opportunities for ethical organisations and community-based enterprises.
  2. Publishing Services
    Councils, NGOs, and advocacy organisations may publish feature articles, announcements, or reports for a modest publishing fee.
  3. Subscription Services
    Paid subscriptions will contribute to funding journalism, investigative work, and digital platform development.
  4. AAG Membership and Programs
    Supported by the Australian Advocacy Group, the publication will collaborate with community initiatives such as the Empower Organic Program and other AAG-led projects.

Opportunities for Collaboration

We welcome partnerships with journalists, advocates, community organisations, and socially responsible businesses.

Ways to collaborate include:

  • Contributing opinion pieces or community reports
  • Advertising or sponsorship opportunities
