Real People, Real Change

Parents in every corner of the country are showing up, sharing their stories, and shifting the political conversation. From community events to Parliament House, they're having real impact.

“Parents for Climate has enabled us to find a community of like-minded people - both through the national network and through the impetus the group has given us to reach out to local families and organisations. Meeting with candidates in the lead-up to the federal election was something new for us, but a great way to learn about our electorate and the people who want to govern it.”
- Chloe & Karl, Townsville & Surrounds

 

“Parents for Climate is a great vehicle for busy parents, because of two reasons:

1) It's designed for busy parents who otherwise wouldn't have time to get involved
2) It de-partisanifies climate action.

PFC is the first group I've ever been involved in. I'm not a political person or an activist. I tried but didn't gel with other climate movements I joined, because their concerns weren't my concerns. PFC is a movement that attracts people like me and lets us talk to parents and politicians in ways they can empathise with. Since starting up the group in Western Sydney last year we've met 1 local councillor and 2 state MPs in person. We've built a small but growing community of like-minded parents out here, and we're excited for what the future holds for the group.”         
- Reuben, Western Sydney

Systemic Change, Driven by Community

Our campaigns don’t just make headlines – they shift systems. We:

  • Support parent leaders to build long-term local power
  • Create pressure that leads to policy change
  • Centre climate in the public conversation – through a family-first lens

With each campaign, we’re laying the groundwork for deeper change – grounded in relationships and driven by the love for our kids.

“Together, we've helped shift climate conversations in key electorates.”
– Nic Seton, CEO, Parents for Climate

What Makes Us Different

Parents for Climate is unlike any other climate organisation in Australia. Here’s what sets us apart:

Parent-powered authenticity and moral authority

We’re the most motivated group in the country when it comes to protecting our kids’ future. Parents bring a deep moral clarity and emotional resonance that moves people-and decision-makers-into action.

Strategic action that punches above its weight

We’re volunteer-powered, but strategically savvy. Our work is lean, agile, and impactful. We open doors that are often closed to others, and our campaigns are designed to make national impact through local action.

From grassroots energy to political leverage

Our network of parents spans suburbs, regions, and states-and we turn that community power into political influence. We help everyday people become effective advocates, and support them to take meaningful action.

A parent-centred approach that connects across issues

We don’t talk climate in a vacuum. We work across divides-political, cultural, and generational-to connect climate action with the issues families care about most: cost of living, health, security, and future prosperity.

Partner With Us – Fund the Future
