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.

Join Basic Income Australia for our next Online Book Club, where we’ll be discussing Let There Be Money by Scott Santens!
In this compelling and accessible book, long-time UBI advocate Scott Santens tackles one of the biggest misconceptions about money: that there isn’t enough of it to go around. He explains how money is created, why scarcity is a political choice, and how Universal Basic Income can help reshape our economy to work for everyone. Drawing on history, economics, and real-world case studies, Santens makes a powerful case for a future where financial security is a right, not a privilege.

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.
