MCKINNON
McKinnon (previously known as the Susan McKinnon Foundation) was established in 2015 by Sophie Oh and Grant Rule. Our new name signals a renewed commitment to empower better governments, for a stronger Australia. This mission was inspired by Grant’s mother, who instils the values of service and positive contribution in those around her.
As a truly independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit organisation, we believe that real change is possible - but only if we take a long-term view in facilitating the development of political leadership, increasing public sector productivity, creating a thriving democracy and accelerating policy innovation.
These are not separate goals. They are deeply interconnected and mutually reinforce trust. Trust in our leaders, institutions and democracy which help build the conditions for lasting, positive change for all Australians.
