ADVANCE PATRON
The Honourable Julia Gillard MP, Prime Minister of Australia

Australians continue to punch above their weight in the global arena, whether it is in the economic sectors, entertainment and the arts, the sciences, technology, or the media. The talents of Australia's professionals are recognised around the world and this is yielding dividends for their own careers as well as for Australia.
 
The Advance network brings together an amazing array of distinguished and rising Australians - leaders across prominent institutions and corporations and entrepreneurs at the forefront of new ventures. 

This network brings to a focal point our nation's achievements.
 
But more importantly, this network provides a vehicle for forging new connections with fellow Australians living abroad, sharing insights from their experiences, and discussing ways of further promoting our nation.
 
Like all networks, its value is dependent on your engagement. As patron, I urge all Australia's expatriates to become part of Advance - Global Australians.
 
In our globalised world, strong and productive networks with our fellow Australians will underpin our continued growth and prosperity, leveraging our skills and knowledge to promote our nation and its achievements to the wider world.
