Our mission at Wollemi Capital Group is bold yet simple, to invest in businesses and people delivering a positive impact for generations to come. The Australian Museum brings this mission to life. Our support of Burra learning space is driven by the commitment of the Australian Museum to provide a safe and engaging space for visitors, especially children, to explore questions and ideas related to Australia’s past, present, and future.

- Victoria Denholm, Wollemi Capital Group | Burra supporter

With children from low income families in mind, we support foundations that provide free community access to art, science and music in our home countries. As long as the AM continues to provide free entry to children, we'll happily support the Foundation. We generally give more to those that provide free entry for the whole family and have extensive community outreach programs.

- Connie and Darren | A Day at the Museum program supporters

Thank you for supporting the Australian Museum
