Future Healthy Countdown 2030 is proud to support the For Our Future Campaign, which aligns with the Countdown’s overarching policy ask to establish a Future Generations Commission.
For too long, Australia’s future has been shaped by short-term thinking, leaving future generations to bear the cost. But we have a real chance to change that.
The Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill, introduced today by Dr Sophie Scamps MP and seconded by Mrs Bridget Archer MP, would make sure leaders start thinking long-term and put future generations at the heart of every decision.
What the Bill will do:
✅ Establish a Federal Wellbeing Framework – because future planning should be a priority, not an afterthought.
✅ Create a positive duty for leaders to plan beyond short-term election cycles.
✅ Establish an independent Future Generations Commissioner to hold governments accountable.
✅ Launch a national conversation so all Australians – young and old – have a say in shaping the future.
This is a turning point – but we need you to help make it happen. Please sign and share the petition today and show our leaders that Australians want policies built for the long haul.
