The Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation (ALNF)

The Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation (ALNF) The Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation (ALNF) believes all Australians have the right to literacy. It is a basic human right.

The Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation (ALNF), established in 1999, is a national charity assisting people in our most marginalised communities to gain vital language, literacy and communication skills. ALNF’s specialised and innovative programs address the needs of a diverse range of individuals and communities – specifically supporting First Nations, refugee and other vulnerable Austral

ians. ALNF believes that literacy is freedom- literacy allows individuals to access education, participate meaningfully in our society and to have a voice. We see a world where everyone, wherever they come from, however they identify, can confidently express themselves, engage with society and share their stories, embracing the extraordinary opportunities life brings.
