Help us grow into the next decade

ABOUT US

What does it mean to be an Australian in times like these? What are the values that unite us?

Eureka Street is less a magazine than a wide ranging conversation about the issues that matter in our country and our world; a conversation marked by respect for the dignity of ALL human beings.

It's a conversation that takes place in the open, unhindered by paywalls or excessive advertising. And it's through the support of people like you that it is able to do so.

We've come a long way over the past ten years. But there's more to come. Your donations can help us flourish as we enter the next decade.

CORE ISSUES

  • Asylum seekers and refugees

    The rights and wellbeing of people seeking asylum on our shores have been trademark concerns for the magazine since its first issue in 1991. Prominent human rights lawyers, migration lawyers and advocates write regularly, capturing the human, ethical and policy dimensions of this complex issue.

  • Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders

    The Jesuits, publishers of Eureka Street, have a long history of living and working alongside ATSI Australians in remote communities. This concern and advocacy grounded in human relationships is today carried into the pages of Eureka Street by expert writers of both white and Aboriginal heritage.

  • Climate change & the environment

    Eureka Street has an editorial mandate to promote good stewardship of our shared world. In particular it emphasises the impacts that climate change and environmental degradation have upon the world’s most marginalised citizens, with expert writers bringing ethical weight to bear on real-world policies.

  • Religion in the public square

    As a Catholic magazine with editorial independence, Eureka Street plays a vital role as a critical voice both from within and toward the Catholic Church. This is important during a time when all religious institutions in the Western world are facing significant challenges to their continued relevance and moral authority.
