Climate Torch Relay

Climate Torch Relay

To solve the climate crisis, we will need a movement unprecedented in Australia's history. To mobilise this movement, GetUp has invented a new device to respond to the climate crisis... and you can hold it it one hand.



Do It For The Children

Do It For The Children

There are only two developed countries that don't have paid maternity leave - and Australia is one of them. This even leaves us lagging behind Tanzania, Iran, Burma and Djibouti.



End Mandatory Detention

End Mandatory Detention

It is time to put an end to Australia's shameful system of of immigration detention. Let's show the government inquiry that we demand humane treatment for asylum seekers.



Roll Back, Not Roll Out

Roll Back, Not Roll Out

At the first anniversary of John Howard's NT Intervention, what exactly has been achieved? Share stories from GetUp's visit to the NT and urge the Rudd Government to take a more consultative approach.



Fuel Watch

Fuel Watch

What politicans aren't talking about is that we're running out of cheap oil. Our campaign calls on the Government to invest in real solutions to the petrol crisis instead of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.



Fix Transport

Fix Transport

The world is running out of cheap oil and head-on into the climate crisis caused by burning fossil fuels. Urge the Government to finally take action towards preparing Australia's transport system for rising oil prices.



Ban The Bombs

Ban The Bombs

The new Australian Government is going out of its way to frustrate the international treaty seeking to rid the world of cluster bombs. Sign the petition today telling Kevin Rudd to ban the bomb: no loopholes, no exceptions.



Climate Action Fund

Climate Action Fund

Billions of dollars could have been allocated to create Australia's first 'climate budget'. Instead, they were allocated directly into our pockets. Use some of your tax cut to help GetUp fight for real answers to climate change.



Make This A Hit

Make This A Hit

GetUp brings you The GetUp Mob's "From Little Things Big Things Grow". Some of the nation's best-known performers have come together to create a song that harnesses the momentum of February's apology.



Olympic Silence Is Not Golden

Olympic Silence Is Not Golden

The Australian said it best yesterday: "Nothing has sucked the air from the lungs as much as Seven's decision to drop an advertisement by GetUp... In a democracy, where freedom of speech is a given, Seven's craven self-censoring efforts represent a gold-medal act of moral cowardice."



Equal Pay For Women

Equal Pay For Women

Men and women in Australia are equal, right? Wrong! Can you guess, for every dollar a man earns, how much a woman earns? Here's a hint - it's one of the biggest gaps of all developed nations.



Peoples Agenda

Peoples Agenda

Created in consultation with more than 35,000 GetUp members, the ‘People’s Agenda for Parliament’ is an authoritative statement of our vision for the country.



Promise Watch

Promise Watch

Let’s make the 2007 election a first – where a promise truly is a promise! Hundreds of election promises have been logged on our site, and it's now up to us to hold the politicians elected on those promises accountable.



No Pulp Mill

No Pulp Mill

The proposed Gunns pulp mill in the Tamar Valley represents a major threat to Tasmania’s environment and economy - but it can't go ahead without a financial backer! With ANZ out, join the campaign to make sure no one finances this environmental disaster.



Close the Gap

Close the Gap

Indigenous Australians have a life expectancy almost twenty years lower than other Australians. That's unacceptable. Sign the urgent petition to tell our politicians to fix this preventable crisis.



Climate Action Now

Climate Action Now

Most Australians don't have time to read Professor Garnaut's shocking 600-page climate report, so we've created a quick clip that summarises it fast, what it means for Australia - and what it means for you.
