Who We Are

ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR SOCIAL INNOVATION

The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI) exists to identify and support the innovative ideas, methods and people that will contribute to and accelerate positive social change.  To turn bold ideas into better lives.

We are a social innovation laboratory which creates, tests and incubates ideas, methods and projects for addressing unmet social needs and helping more people lead thriving lives. We are also committed to finding, creating and sharing better methods for innovation in the social sphere.

A key part of TACSI’s mission is to bring together all sectors of society to find ways for it to be more resourceful, adaptive and resilient in tackling the big economic, social, environmental and cultural challenges of this century. This involves brokering relationships across the public and private sectors to ensure that the impact of social change can reach across traditional boundaries between policy makers, social services, business and the community.

To achieve our mission, TACSI works with stakeholders including federal, state and local governments, businesses and non-government agencies.

TACSI is an independent, not for profit organisation, founded with seed funding from the South Australian government under former Premier Mike Rann.
