About Us

Minderoo Foundation takes on tough, persistent issues with the potential to drive massive change. We incubate ideas, advocate for systems change and accelerate impact. We push the limits of what is believed possible.

Minderoo Foundation is proudly Australian, independent, forward thinking and seeks effective, scalable solutions. Through bold, collaborative and selfless action, we seek to dismantle the systems that entrench inequality and advocate for a fairer future. 

Minderoo's Impact Missions team responds to existential threats and time-sensitive urgent challenges, with a focus on issues that sit outside of the Focus Areas' remit. Impact Missions operates with agility through a lean Development and Delivery team that will consider, test, and develop new concepts, and plan how Minderoo can make a strong contribution by delivering a partner-first model. 

The Plastics & Human Health team is working to establish the casual link between plastics and negative human health and a pathway to safe and sustainable alternatives by 2030. By generating irrefutable evidence of the harm caused by plastics, both micro and nanoplastics and hazardous chemicals, the team aims to influence public interest, drive new policies, and change the behaviour of businesses and finance sectors. This Mission is delivering a multi-pronged program with five pillars: evidence synthesis and publication, clinical research and hybrid epidemiology, measurement science, evidence broadcasting, and sustainable materials. The team aims to influence public interest, drive new policies, and change the behaviour of businesses and finance sectors.
