Kenneth Myer Innovation Fellowships

The Kenneth Myer Innovation Fellowships offer a unique opportunity for individuals to tackle Australia’s most pressing social and environmental challenges.

With $180,000 in funding, Fellows receive 12 months to focus on their innovative projects, supported by a stipend and project expenses.

The program seeks initiatives that are high-impact, unique, and scalable, aligning with themes of Inclusion & Equality, Sustainability & Environment (including climate change), and Human, Civil & Legal Rights. Fellows also gain access to expert panels, mentorship, and a network of past Fellows to help grow and scale their impact.

Applications are open to Australian citizens or permanent residents with a proven track record of achievement, a passion for their cause, and the networks to make it happen. Projects must be based in Australia, in development for less than three years, and demonstrate potential for deep and wide-reaching impact.

Keen to learn more? Join the online info session at 1:00PM AEST on Thursday 31 July 2025. Register here.

Expressions of Interest for the 2026 Fellowships open on 14 July 2025 and close on 17 August 2025.
