Games for real-world change.
We empower Australian game creators and social innovators to drive real-world impact through play, games and immersive media.
Australia’s chapter of a global movement.
Our vision is a world where games and immersive media are understood to have an impact beyond entertainment. Our mission is to empower Australian creators to drive real-world change.
Games for Change was founded in 2004 and is the largest global non-profit at the intersection of games and social impact. As the Australian chapter, we bring that mission home, supporting the creators, educators and researchers making games that matter across the country.
