The H.V. Evatt Memorial Foundation is an Australian think tank founded in memory of Australian politician, judge, historian and diplomat H. V. Evatt.
It is based in Sydney, with members and supporters from around the world.
It is a progressive organisation dedicated to the development of ideas, research, discussion and debate, and is linked to the Australian Labour movement.




History


The Evatt Foundation was established in 1979 as a memorial to Dr Herbert Vere Evatt with the aim of advancing the ideals of the labour movement, such as equality, participation, social justice and human rights. The Foundation helps to promote these ideals through research, publications, public discussion and debate.
To encourage the Foundation to pursue its objectives, major grants were given by the NSW government, the Tasmanian government and other public and private organisations, including trade unions and business enterprises. From 1984 to 1999 the Foundation received an annual grant from the Commonwealth government.
The Evatt Foundation has run a public education program of seminars, conferences and publications.
On 23 August 2007, in the lead-up to the Sydney meeting of APEC, former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating gave a public lecture organised by the Evatt Foundation.
