Advisory and Ecosystem Building Services in Social Impact, Entrepreneurship & Economic Development
Together let's empower the next generation of change makers
Our North Star
We exist to spark a conversation about why impact is no longer just a "nice-to-have" but a "must-have," essential for businesses to thrive and for individuals to shape meaningful careers. We give power to people and organisations to become catalysts for positive change.
At Impact Heroes, our mission is to redefine success by placing impact at the heart of every career decision and organisational strategy, ensuring that the positive contributions of individuals and businesses to the environment and society are recognised as fundamental measures of success, alongside traditional metrics like financial performance.
Our Impact Tribe
Impact Heroes is an Australian-based impact startup and social enterprise nurturing the next generation of changemakers and supporting emerging purpose-driven leaders and organisations to accelerate their impact and build innovative and collaborative solutions to address the world’s most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.
We work and co-design our programs and events in collaboration with purpose-driven individuals, startups, social enterprises, corporates, government, industry associations, lobby groups and key industry stakeholders.
Our Founder - Julie Macey
Julie is a trailblazer in economic development, social impact, and climate action, with over 20 years of leadership experience across consulting and government. She specialises in educating communities on entrepreneurship, social impact, best business practices and sustainable development.
Julie is known for her expertise in implementing strategies and programs that drive inclusive, long-term job creation, stimulate local economic growth, foster innovation, and empower startups and social entrepreneurs to thrive. In her last corporate role, Julie managed the Tech Startups, International Education, and Global Engagement programs at the City of Sydney Council. In 2024, she made a bold career shift, stepping down from her leadership position in government to launch Impact Heroes.
