On February 10th, 2025, Independent MP Dr. Sophie Scamps introduced the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill to the Australian Parliament - an historic step toward making sure our leaders consider the long-term impact of their decisions on the generations to come.
This Bill gives us a powerful opportunity to shift politics from short-term thinking to long-term solutions - on climate, health, cost of living, education, and more. It’s common-sense, cross-party, and urgently needed.
As parents and carers, we know what it means to plan for the future. It’s time our governments did the same.
What the Bill will do:
| ✅ | Appoint an independent Future Generations Commissioner to be a voice for tomorrow’s Australians |
| ✅ | Establish a Federal Wellbeing of Future Generations Framework to guide decision-making |
| ✅ | Create a positive duty for governments to consider future generations in all major policies |
| ✅ | Launch a national conversation about the kind of future we want for our kids |
