About Results

Results International (Australia) is part of a global network of organisations working to bring an end to poverty. Results has been operating in Australia for 35 years through both staff-led and volunteer-driven advocacy at a grassroots, national and global level.

We work with parliamentarians, the media and members of the community to influence political decisions that will bring an end to extreme poverty. This includes pushing for an increase in Australia’s overseas aid budget and increased pledges to multilateral bodies that work on global health.

At the global level we work closely with our partner ACTION to improve equitable access to health and in Australia we act as the Secretariat to the Australian TB Caucus.

We are respected for our advocacy work and have a high profile in Australia’s Federal Parliament and in the international development sector. For more on our work and impact, please watch this short video.
