Why become a partner

Ongoing access to the political knowledge that business and industry pay six-figures for.

Our one-off masterclasses teach you how the system works. The Partner Program keeps you ahead of the political world with ongoing insights, direct access, and support when it matters most.

🔐

Always informed

Know what's happening in government before it affects your organisation, not after. Stay ahead of budget decisions, policy shifts and political changes that matter to your sector.

📞

Direct access

Pick up the phone or send an email when something comes up and get expert advice when you need it most. No waiting for a callback from someone who doesn't know your issues.

🎯

Strategic edge

Ongoing support for submissions, ministerial meetings, campaigns and government engagement strategy. The organisations that engage government consistently are the ones that win consistently.

Values aligned

We only partner with organisations driven by purpose, not profit. Every partner is vetted for values alignment. If your mission is to make Australia better then we want to work with you.

📈

Budget ready

Pre-budget and post-budget briefings tailored to your sector. Know what the numbers actually mean for your organisation before government tries to hide it.

📚

Always improving

Access to masterclasses, resources and briefing documents at partner rates so your whole team builds political literacy over time, not just the CEO who attended a one-off session.

Government doesn't work in one-off moments. Neither should your engagement.

Most purpose-driven organisations engage with government reactively — when a budget is announced, when a consultation opens, when a decision has already been made. The organisations that consistently get heard are the ones that are consistently engaged.

The Partner Program exists to make that kind of consistent, intelligent, informed engagement available to every purpose-driven organisation — regardless of size.

"Ten years inside the Labor Party taught me that the reason big business and industry get what they want is because they have entire teams dedicated to keeping their finger on the pulse of politics. They understand all the triggers and nuances and the levers they need to pull to get what they need. Purpose-driven organisations don't have the budget or the time to build this institutional knowledge. The Partner Program is how I make that possible for the sector that deserves it most."

— Jacob Stokes, Founder

We don't work with corporations. We never will. The Partner Program is exclusively for purpose-driven organisations — the NFPs, charities, advocacy groups and social enterprises doing the most important work in Australian communities.

Common questions

Is there a minimum commitment? +
No lock-in contracts. All tiers are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. We offer an annual payment option with two months free for organisations that want to commit upfront.
Do we have to go through an application process? +
Yes — and intentionally so. Red Bandicoot works exclusively with purpose-driven organisations whose values align with ours. The application is short and takes about five minutes. Once submitted Jacob will review it and be in touch within 48 hours to discuss which tier is the right fit.
Will I actually speak to Jacob or is it outsourced? +
Every engagement is with Jacob directly. No junior staff. No outsourced advice. No generic frameworks. When you call, Jacob picks up. When you email, Jacob responds. That's not a marketing line — it's how the business is built.
Can we upgrade or downgrade our tier? +
Absolutely. Many organisations start at Membership to build their political literacy and move to Caucus or Cabinet as their government engagement ramps up. Just get in touch and we'll sort it out with no fuss.
How is the Partner Program different from a one-off masterclass? +
A masterclass gives you the knowledge. The Partner Program keeps you ahead of a political environment that changes constantly — new ministers, budget decisions, policy shifts, Senate dynamics. It also gives you direct access to apply that knowledge to your organisation's specific challenges, campaigns and moments in real time.
Do partner organisations get any recognition? +
With your permission we list partner organisations on the Red Bandicoot website. Many organisations find this a useful signal of their commitment to political literacy and effective advocacy — particularly when reporting to boards or grant bodies.

The organisations doing the most good deserve the most political support.

The Partner Program is our commitment to making that happen — exclusively for purpose-driven organisations, all year round.
