What we’re about
A Basic Income (also called universal basic income (UBI), unconditional basic income, basic income guarantee), is a liveable wage provided to all citizens unconditionally. It's a complex issue that is discussed more fully on our website: https://basicincomeaustralia.com/
This group will have three main objectives:
1. Discuss and refine the concept - good ideas aren't born out of thin air, they have to be critiqued and analysed from every angle.
2. Publicise the idea and expand the public discussion - through targeted marketing campaigns and creating educational tools.
3. Campaign politically - confirming where politicians stand, promoting candidates who support it and pushing our own candidates as a last resort.

This event is for people who want to make a Basic Income a reality in Australia.
If we're going to make an Unconditional Livable Wage For All a reality in Australia then we're going to need to organise marketing campaigns, hold events, pressure politicians and more.
Connect with a national network of Basic Income advocates in this monthly meeting as we discuss and strategise tactics.
If you're feeling shy about coming along and voicing your opinions and strategic ideas, just remember that the movement can never grow if new people don't join in.

- Deep discussion - Immigration & Universal Basic IncomeLink visible for attendees
How does immigration intersect with the fight for Universal Basic Income (UBI)? Would UBI create a more just and inclusive society for migrants, or would it lead to new forms of exclusion? How do borders, citizenship, and economic security shape access to social rights?
Join Basic Income Australia for a Deep Discussion on the complex relationship between immigration, economic justice, and basic income. This interactive session will dive into the key policy debates and explore how we can advocate for a system that supports both newcomers and long-term residents alike. Let's navigate these choppy waters together <3.Hosted on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82527159640

- Strategy SessionLink visible for attendees
Join us for an energising and expansive afternoon where we step outside the tactical, and take a moment to breathe into the big picture. This is not your average strategy meeting.
Together, we’ll explore a foundational question: what does the world need to see, hear, and feel to move toward Universal Basic Income—not as policy, but as possibility? We’ll hold space to reflect on what really shifts minds, moves hearts, and mobilises action.
The first hour will be wide open: expansive thinking, unexpected connections, maybe even a little delightful absurdity. The second hour will ground us—adding fresh clarity and energy to our existing strategy flow.
Whether you're drawn by curiosity, conviction, or the subtle pull of "there has to be another way", this is the room to be in.
