About the Social Good Summit Australia
The Social Good Summit Australia (SGSA) is a United Nations Foundation affiliated event that connects individuals, Corporations, Not-for-profits, Government and Grassroots organisations to inspire and discuss solutions for the greatest challenges of our times.
Running over the course of one day we are determined to create awareness and explore the possibilities of the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals and fulfil the promise of creating a better world by 2030.
Through powerful speeches from inspiring industry leaders over the last 6 years since the SGSA was founded we have witnessed the impact of individuals taking action after being inspired by our annual summit and that is something we are really proud of.
The event is run solely by volunteers.

Building the Skills of the Future
In a time of such environmental concern, we have to elevate the volume on solutions and innovations to make our planet healthier and more sustainable. At Make A Change World, we believe that no idea is too crazy, since we're running out of time. In 2050, there will be more plastics than fish in the ocean

CEO Seabin Project
It was both extremely exciting and humbling for Seabin Project to be included amongst some truly amazing people at the 2019 Social Good Summit. We walked away from the event a bit smarter, a lot more positive and with new friends that we are still in contact with or have formed collaborations and partnerships with. Myself and the team at Seabin Project encourage everyone to attend the Social Good Summit 2021, anyone that wants to learn more about making a difference for a better planet and a more prosperous future.
