Social Business Australia

Social Business Australia (SBA) was established to help increase the number of social businesses operating in Australia - supporting access to education and training for social business, greater capital investment in social business and a better industry profile.  SBA was established in March 2010 - launched at Australian Parliament House, Canberra, with an address by Dame Pauline Green, President, International Co-operative Alliance.  SBA was responsible for the formation of Australia's IYC National  Committee in May 2010 and has established an IYC Secretariat to support the Committee - including the printing and postage costs of a National Call to Action information package mailed to all co-operatives, credit unions and mutuals throughout Australia in January 2011.
