Built and run by community, for community
CORE stands for Community Organising Resource Ecosystem. We equip communities, groups, and organisations with the tools, skills, and connections to make a lasting impact.
Technology for those driving
positive change
CORE Australia is a non-profit association built and run by community, for community. We are committed to delivering technology that works for those driving positive change.
By equipping communities, groups, and organisations with high-performance tools, skills, and connections, we empower local leaders to focus on what matters most: making a lasting impact.
We are deliberate about who we partner with. Membership is based on a shared ethical standard and a commitment to collective progress – because the strength of the ecosystem depends on the integrity of everyone in it.
What we stand for
Membership is based on a shared ethical standard and a commitment to collective progress. These values are not aspirational – they are the conditions of being part of CORE.
Community First
We prioritise grassroots action and local knowledge. Every member joins a Community of Practice where sharing skills and supporting peers is at the heart of what we do.
Justice & Sustainability
We actively welcome those working toward social justice, climate action, and a sustainable future. We support campaigns grounded in evidence, guided by facts, and driven by fairness.
Ethical Boundaries
To maintain a safe and trusted network, we do not work with organisations that seek to exclude, marginalise, or dehumanise others. We do not provide services to campaigns that spread disinformation or incite hatred.
Transparency & Honesty
We practice what we campaign for. We are open about how we operate, acknowledge our challenges, and work continuously to improve. Trust is built through consistent, honest action and clear communication.
A social enterprise reinvesting
in your community
As a social enterprise, we are dedicated to maximising community impact. Our structure ensures that all assets and profits are reinvested directly into the ecosystem.
We provide free entry-level access so every group can start with professional tools, regardless of their budget. As you grow, our costs remain significantly lower than commercial alternatives.
You can reduce costs further through our Ecosystem Model – contributing your skills and knowledge back to the community to help everyone thrive.
