ACRE is seeking four delivery partners in regional Victoria for their flagship Understanding Social Enterprise program.

ACRE announces the establishment of Community Owned Australia - an Australian-first support service and fund providing the guidance, support and appropriate capital rural communities need to own, operate and sustain the assets they rely on to thrive.

On International Women’s Day 8 March 2026, Girl Guides Australia (GGA) and the Carla Zampatti Foundation are proudly launching Project Compass – developed with Australian Centre for Rural Entrepreneurship (ACRE) and Social Enterprise Academy.

Meg reflects on the enduring relevance of the Manifesto for Rural Social Enterprise and Australia's role in the global ecosystem.

Thanks to sponsors Amplify Alliance Australia, Matt Pfahlert and Meg Allan recently represented ACRE at the 2025 Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) and Rural Gathering. 

ACRE welcomes the opportunity to deliver a new Community Leadership Program supporting former native timber towns in northern Victoria, following engagement by the Victorian Government.
