The Achieve Foundation (TAF) is a disability-informed systems change organization with a vision of social inclusion for people with disability in Australia-where everyone has a sense of belonging, diversity is valued, and outcomes are equitable.
We bring people, tools, and resources together to break down systemic barriers to inclusion. Guided by lived experience, we strive to model the inclusive relationships we want to see in the broader community.
Why we exist: One in five Australians lives with disability, yet exclusion persists because systems are misaligned. The challenge is not individual effort; it is how institutions are designed and how narratives shape decisions. We work at a systems level to shift the dial on key indicators of exclusion faced by people with disability.
What we do: We operate as a field-building intermediary that connects government, philanthropy, impact investors, service providers, and advocates. We aim to increase access to capital for disability inclusion, mobilising philanthropic and investment resources to scale solutions that dismantle barriers.
Our practice is organized across three pillars:
1. Community Attitudes: Commission and apply reframing research to normalize inclusion, improve public understanding, and guide sector-wide messaging.
2. Employment: Co-design inclusive recruitment, build employer capability, and create pathways into open, meaningful work.
3. Education: Develop a national strategy that embeds inclusion across pedagogy, leadership, and school culture.
How we work: We co-design with leaders with disability, use rigorous evidence synthesis, convene coalitions, and translate insights into practical tools. We track adoption signals, policy references, and changes in practice, alongside outcomes for jobseekers and students.
What success looks like: Shifts in public narratives, employers confident to hire and support talent with disability, and high schools that make inclusion an everyday norm.
