Join the IPA to be part of Australia’s leading voice for freedom, democracy, and free enterprise, and support research that shapes public debate and policy.
Our mission and work are made possible entirely through the tax‐deductible contributions from members and supporters, who are committed to preserve and strengthen the foundations of Australia’s economic and political freedom.
The IPA hosts events with leading thinkers, commentators, and researchers, giving members exclusive opportunities to engage with the ideas shaping Australia’s future.
Since 1943, the IPA has been at the forefront of the political and policy debate, defining the contemporary political landscape.
We neither seek nor receive funding from Government. Our work is supported by more than 10,000 Members and donors.
The IPA supports the free market of ideas, the free flow of capital, a limited and efficient government, evidence-based public policy, the rule of law, and representative democracy. Throughout human history, these ideas have proven themselves to be the most dynamic, liberating and exciting. Our researchers apply these ideas to the public policy questions which matter today.
