Australia's Healthspan Moonshot

5 more years of good health. 5 years to transform our approach. 5% GDP growth when we succeed.

Our Mission

We target adding five healthy, productive years to every Australian life within five years, generating a 5% boost to our national GDP. This isn't just an aspiration—it's an invitation to shape a shared national imperative together.

5 More Years

Adding five healthy, productive years to every Australian's life through prevention and redesign.

5 Years to Transform

Five years to fundamentally transform our approach to how we live, work, and age.

5% GDP Growth

Generating over $100 billion annually in economic benefits when we succeed.

Healthspan isn't something we wait for. It's something we create — every day, every year, together.

Six Healthspan Pillars

These six strategies target the root causes of poor health—how we live, eat, age, work, and connect—creating environments that promote longer, healthier, more purposeful lives.

Sustaining Communities

Australia's neighborhoods become thriving ecosystems of wellbeing, designed for connection, not isolation. Social infrastructure fosters daily purpose and mutual support, creating communities where people of all ages belong, contribute, and thrive.

Illustrative Initiatives:

Community Connection Hubs: Intergenerational spaces fostering daily social interaction
Active Transport Network: Connected bike and public transport network
Climate-Resilient Public Spaces: Outdoor environments designed for wellbeing
Thriving in Community: A fresh take on 'aging in place' emphasizing connection

An impact marketplace for healthspan in Australia

Our impact marketplace creates a structured ecosystem where capital, innovation, and impact measurement come together to accelerate healthspan improvements across Australia.

Key Components

A programmable, transparent mechanism to coordinate capital, verify impact, and scale the six pillars to deliver five extra healthy years to every Australian, and boost GDP by 5% in the process.

Capital Orchestration

This is the engine room: AI supports research and match-making based on open, distributed, real-time data including theories of change, and target outcomes. Feedback is embedded to improve the flywheel, ensuring maximum impact through coordinated funding sources.

Funding

A 'blended stack' of funders - insurers, VCs, governments, DAOs, and philanthropists - brings different motivations: ROI, cost savings, public value, or systemic impact. This diversified capital pool will fund interventions with verified impact across all six pillars.

Prototypes

These are the innovative sparks - real-world testbeds of startups, community programs, pilots, policy experiments, and PR campaigns across the 6 pillars. They're tracked for outcomes and learnings, contributing to a shared knowledge base that accelerates successful interventions.

Ecosystem

The ecosystem layer supports trust, scale, and collaboration. It includes shared infrastructure like an impact commons, narrative tools, policy input mechanisms, and open databases. This foundation enables research, matching, feedback, and governance systems to function effectively.
