The second meeting of 2025 for the Parliamentary Group for Future Generations will focus on sustaining momentum and translating September’s dialogue into concrete action. As 2025 progresses, new developments across Parliament, state and territory initiatives, and civil society mobilisations are shaping the landscape for intergenerational fairness in Australia.

This meeting will provide an opportunity to:

• Reflect on progress and shifts since September, including lessons from state and territory leadership and civil society initiatives.

• Explore the potential reintroduction and/or redrafting of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill, alongside other parliamentary pathways to embed long-term thinking.

• Examine how upcoming milestones, such as the federal budget and the Wellbeing Conference, can be leveraged to advance the agenda.

• Discuss the different tracks of action available in the coming months, spanning political leadership, civil society advocacy and government priorities.

Key priorities include:

• Reviewing mobilisation efforts since September and identifying areas requiring further alignment and acceleration.

• Deep-diving into lessons from states and territories advancing future generations policy to inform federal action.

• Fostering strategic dialogue around the pathways to embed long-term governance reforms, including legislative and non-legislative options.

• Engaging external expertise to illuminate opportunities and challenges in shaping intergenerational policy and practice.
