Become a Partner Organisation
The Sydney Alliance is made up of our partner organisations, and we rely on the extensive leadership that exists in those organisations to bring together diverse community organisations, unions and religious organisations to advance the common good and achieve a fair, just and sustainable city.
Benefits of becoming a partner organisation include a seat at the table to decide how the Sydney Alliance takes action and on what issues, finding and building relational trust with allies across civil society and access to leadership development for the people involved in your organisation, including through Foundations Training and National Training.

“Partner Organisations are strengthened as they give their members the experience of reshaping society. In the process, individuals grow and develop as leaders, become full democratic citizens and learn to speak and act with others on their own behalf. We build grassroots power that respects the contribution and dignity of all people, based on our Agenda for the Common Good which arises from listening and discernment across the partner organisations.”
