Jubilee Australia is a non-profit organisation dedicated to advocating for economic justice in the Asia-Pacific region, with a particular focus on debt and development issues. Jubilee’s main goal is to address the impact of unjust economic policies on vulnerable communities, fostering sustainable and equitable development.

Structured as a research and advocacy group, Jubilee Australia operates from its base in Australia, engaging with government bodies, civil society, and the public. Their work revolves around conducting research, providing analyses, and advocating for policy changes to alleviate the debt burdens faced by developing nations. By doing so, they aim to promote fair and just economic practices that prioritise the well-being of communities over profit.

Jubilee Australia’s primary focus areas include the social, economic, and environmental consequences of large-scale development projects and the associated debt burdens. They examine the impact of such projects on local communities, human rights, and the environment, seeking to ensure that development initiatives prioritise sustainability and social justice.

Jubilee actively contributes to the discourse on sustainable finance by researching and promoting financial practices that align with environmental and social goals. Through their analyses, Jubilee Australia sheds light on the importance of responsible lending and borrowing, aiming to prevent exploitative financial arrangements that can hinder sustainable development.

We partner with and amplify the voices of local communities in the fight against an extractive and unequal economic system, produce quality investigative research and advocate for just solutions that centre communities.
