About Us
The March Australia movement – Evolution
March Australia volunteers advocate for social justice and equity in our communities. In January 2014, three months after the Abbott Coalition government came to power, March Australia was established as a grassroots social media-based people’s movement under the banner “The People United for Better Government” to protest the government’s socially regressive decisions and policies.
In March 2014 over 100,000 people took part in the March in March protest rallies in over thirty locations nationwide to voice their concerns.
Since then March Australia has developed as an alliance of people around the nation working to inform the public of government policies and decisions which affect Australia’s social cohesion and environmental integrity.
March Australia volunteers communicate with the public via regional March Australia Facebook pages to highlight issues affecting our inclusive, multicultural, tolerant and equitable community.

Our Core Values
Australia has long seen itself as the Land of the Fair Go and our core values are centred upon social justice, equity and environmental protection. We work to ensure that the reality on the ground matches our reputation for equality and inclusion.
We recognise that people make up the social fabric of our society and are not separate from it, so our shared goal is to help empower communities nationwide to live and work together sustainably.
We value fairness, honesty, openness, transparency, accountability and compassion in all areas of individual and communal life.
