We're a purpose-led, not-for-profit organisation bringing businesses and low socio-economic status public schools together to address educational disparity. 

We rely on our amazing network of member companies and business partners for financial support. Membership is tiered, with fees dependent upon staff numbers. In addition to growing the number of member companies, we also partner with organisations to develop and deliver innovative new programs.

We empower students by connecting them with volunteers from our member companies in fully facilitated workplace-based mentoring programs that develop students’ confidence, skills and aspirations – vital for thriving in the workplace of the future.

Students from the low socio-economic schools we work with often have little opportunity to network outside their immediate community and limited access to corporate professional role models who can demonstrate a variety of career options. Mentors sharing their own career journeys and challenges can make an enormous impact as students consider their options for the future.

Our mentors also benefit through honing their coaching skills, stimulating their creativity and deepening their understanding of different generations and cultures.

Through the ABCN Foundation, we award scholarships to exceptional students whose disadvantage impacts their ability to complete school and pursue tertiary pathways. Our unique three-year scholarship program provides financial assistance as well as mentoring support during Years 11, 12 and the following year.
