Ostara Australia is proud to be associated with the launch of “The Difference”, an annual report card on the indicators of disadvantage and exclusion in Australia; underpinned by research conducted by Access Economics.

There are 10 indicators of an inclusive society, and according to the research, Australia is going backwards in many of them. The indicators include employment participation, homelessness, drug use, child abuse, suicide and credit default.

 The goal of "The Difference" is to bring the issues, people and solutions together in one place for corporate donors. For more information:
