History

The Dunstan Foundation was established in 1999 to bring together research, policy makers and community groups to meet social needs in South Australia. Our work endeavours to promote the values and vision of our founder, the late Premier Don Dunstan to manifest a fair and just society and covers fields including health, education, community, housing and leadership, particularly when concerned with social justice and human rights.

We address issues through research, public events, collaborative projects and creating new ventures, and work both throughout SA and nationally.  The Foundation and its funding partners bring together vibrant and passionate individuals to make a real difference in the lives of those most in need in our community.
