Education enhances innovation, and provides the keys to the long term combatting of poverty. In so doing, we won’t just help the impoverished, but raise the universal standard of living.

Visiting Fellows
The temporary closure of Australia’s borders to international visitors has required the suspension of the Foundation’s Visiting Fellow program. We are taking this opportunity to review the program and will announce revised criteria and guidelines prior to the re-opening of borders.
The Forrest Research Foundation is a seed that we hope activates new investment in Australia’s research community. We want government, business and the community to join us.
