About the Australian Values Institute
Defending our shared Western heritage and Australian values against ideological assault.
Who We Are
The Australian Values Institute (AVI) stands as a bulwark against the erosion of our nation's identity. We are a research and advocacy organisation dedicated to defending the Australian and Western values that built this nation.
Our values are under threat. Free speech is being constrained, our history is rewritten to suit ideological narratives, institutions increasingly serve agendas contrary to the public interest, and the rule of law is applied selectively. We document these threats and fight back.
We stand for the Western heritage—founded in the Enlightenment, constitutional democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law—that made Australia successful. We are not neutral about defending these principles.
⚔️ Our Purpose
To awaken Australians to the threat our values face, to provide evidence of systematic undermining of Western civilization within our institutions, and to mobilise citizens to defend and restore the principles that built our nation.
What is the Australian Values Statement
The fundamental values that define Australian society. Most migrants and new citizens must sign up to it to obtain citizenship. Unfortunatlely, these values are often not respected, both by many new migrants, and Australian Government Agencies.
2. 📜 Freedom of Religion, Speech, and Association
Freedom of religion (including the freedom not to follow a particular religion), freedom of speech, and freedom of association.
3. ⚖️ Commitment to the Rule of Law
Commitment to the rule of law, which means that all people are subject to the law and should obey it.
4. 🗳️ Parliamentary Democracy
Parliamentary democracy whereby our laws are determined by parliaments elected by the people, those laws being paramount and overriding any other inconsistent religious or secular "laws".
5. 👥 Equality of Opportunity for All
Equality of opportunity for all people, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, or national or ethnic origin.
6. 🤲 A 'Fair Go' for All
A 'fair go' for all that embraces:
- Mutual respect
- Tolerance
- Compassion for those in need
- Equality of opportunity for all
7. 🇦🇺 The English Language
The English language as the national language, and as an important unifying element of Australian society.
Why We Exist
The Australian Values Institute was founded from clear necessity. As we observed the systematic erosion of Western and Australian values across education, media, bureaucracy, and corporate institutions, it became obvious that passivity was no longer an option.
We exist because institutions that should protect our heritage instead work against it. Because voices defending traditional values are marginalised and silenced. Because legal and regulatory systems increasingly serve ideological agendas rather than the public good.
We fight to ensure Australian and Western values are enforced, respected, and passed to the next generation—including ensuring those who migrate to Australia understand and respect the values that built this nation.
Our Approach
📊 Document Threats
We research and expose attacks on Australian freedom and Western heritage—tracking institutional capture, ideological bias, and the systematic undermining of our values with rigorous evidence.
📚 Educate & Awaken
We teach Australians about the heritage under attack and why it matters. Through our work, citizens learn what's at stake and gain the knowledge to push back against cultural Marxism and other hostile ideologies.
⚔️ Take Action
We don't just observe—we fight. We provide practical tools for citizens to file complaints, challenge institutional overreach, and hold decision-makers accountable to Australian values.
