Our Why

Education

Young people are growing up in a world of rapid change. We focus on building future-ready skills so young people can take charge of their learning, identity, and future.

Employment

With an aging workforce and widening skills gaps, young people face systemic barriers to meaningful work. We create pathways that connect them to employers, build their confidence, and support them to navigate the future of work together.

Enterprise

Young Australians are under-represented in a nation of small business owners. We provide inclusive, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed support so young people can turn their ideas into impact and build businesses that thrive.

Acknowledgement of Country

The King’s Trust Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their enduring connection to the lands, waters, and communities.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present and honour the many First Nations peoples who have cared for this continent for tens of thousands of years, preserving its rich cultural heritage, stories, and traditions.

As we live, work, and gather across this vast land, we commit to respecting and learning from the deep knowledge systems of First Nations peoples. May this acknowledgment serve as a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for Country and support reconciliation.

Our Safeguarding Commitment

You deserve to feel safe and be safe – no matter your age, gender, background, beliefs, or abilities. We are committed to the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. We have child-safe rules, policies, and practices in place to make sure you’re supported and looked after. If anyone tells us that someone might be unsafe or in trouble, we will listen, take it seriously, and take action to help.
