Support Teach For Australia

Teach For Australia is a registered charity dedicated to ensuring every child has access to a quality education, regardless of where they live.

While we receive some government funding, we rely heavily on the generosity of people like YOU to bridge the gap.

Your donation will help us place specialist teachers in communities facing disadvantage, giving thousands of students the quality of education they deserve.

Every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to educational equity. Plus, every donation over $2 is tax deductible.

Thank you for supporting a brighter future for all Australia students. Together, we can make it happen!

Our Mission, Vision & Values

In Australia, the postcode you’re born in can radically impact your whole future. It shouldn’t.

In Australia, the postcode that you’re born in can radically impact your whole future – determining the type of education you can access. Too many young people are left behind: set up for lives of disadvantage instead of lives of opportunity. It’s not their choice; and it isn’t their fault.

Together, we can do something about it.

To grow a community of leaders committed to equity for children, by recruiting and developing exceptional people to teach and lead across Australia.

An Australia where education gives every child greater choice for their future.

TFA exists to pursue equity in education for every child. Our values keep us grounded in the things that matter most – they define who we are and how we operate. They are our filter for making decisions and working together as we advance our purpose and bring our strategy to life
