Good Ancestors Policy
Good Ancestors Policy is an Australian charity that supports Australia's leaders in being good ancestors to future generations by conducting policy and technical research and communicating evidence to policymakers and the public. The organization focuses on AI safety governance, pandemic prevention, catastrophic disaster preparedness, and systemic policy reform. Led by CEO Greg Sadler, a former senior Australian public servant and national security adviser, the team engages directly with parliamentarians, makes submissions to government inquiries, and mobilizes community advocates across Australia. Good Ancestors believes middle-power nations like Australia can play a significant role in shaping international policy on emerging technology risks and global security.

Theory of Change
Good Ancestors Policy believes that middle-power nations like Australia can meaningfully influence international policy on emerging technology risks and global security through diplomatic channels and alliances. Their theory of change operates on multiple levels: conducting independent policy research and evidence synthesis to produce actionable recommendations, engaging directly with senior decision-makers and parliamentarians to brief them on catastrophic and existential risks, making formal submissions to government inquiries and consultations, and mobilizing community advocates to raise their voices in a coordinated and strategic way. By combining insider government relationships with grassroots advocacy and rigorous research, they aim to shift Australian government policy toward proactive risk mitigation on AI safety, pandemic preparedness, and catastrophic disasters, which in turn can influence international norms and standards.
