Who we are

Social Ventures Australia (SVA) is a not-for-profit organisation that works with partners to alleviate disadvantage and towards an Australia where all people and communities thrive. We influence systems to deliver better social outcomes for people by learning about what works in communities, helping organisations be more effective, sharing our perspectives and advocating for change.

Team Overview

SVA’s Programs team works with partners to pilot, prove, refine, and scale effective approaches to tackling disadvantage. The current portfolio of nine programs mainly focuses on improved outcomes for people and communities ‘cradle to career’.

SVA’s Programs portfolio includes emblematic programs such as Evidence for Learning (E4L) which works to promote wider adoption of evidence-based practice through the Australian education system.

E4L is an evidence intermediary or knowledge broker. E4L’s mission is to help busy educators – especially educational leaders — increase learning for children, by improving the quality, availability and use of evidence.​ E4L works with education systems, early childhood education and care providers, schools, researchers, government bodies and philanthropists to share and support the use of evidence on what works best in Australian schools and early learning settings.
