Australia 2020 Summit

The Prime Minister of Australia,

Welcome to the website for the Australia 2020 Summit.

The Australia 2020 Summit was held on 19 and 20 April 2008 at Parliament House in Canberra, bringing together 1,000 participants from across the nation and generating more than 900 ideas.

The Summit was an exciting initiative aimed at harnessing the best ideas for building a modern Australia ready for the challenges of the 21st century.

The Government has given full consideration to the ideas and ambitions generated at the Summit. Many of the ideas pose important questions about our future while others offer the opportunity to embrace significant policy reform in a new way of governing.

The Responding to the Australia 2020 Summit Report outlines ideas the Government will implement, those it will explore further and those which, at this time, will not proceed.

The Australia 2020 Summit marked the start of a national conversation on Australia’s long term future, a conversation I am committed to continuing as we move forward to 2020.

I want to thank everyone who took up the opportunity to be a part of this discussion about our future as a nation.

I encourage you to read the Government’s response to the Australia 2020 Summit and thank you for your continuing interest in this important discussion about Australia’s future.

Kevin Rudd
