The Lachlan Macquarie Internship is made possible only by the generosity of various Christian organisations and individuals who believe in supporting our future Christian leaders in Public Policy.
The Australian Christian Lobby
The ACL vision is to see Christian principles accepted and influencing the way we are governed, do business and relate as a community. Part of this vision is helping to develop those Christian leaders seeking to enter public policy, and providing them with a solid understanding of the networks, knowledge, values and vision required for public life.

Each year Compass brings together around 80 top performing Christian university students in order to help them think through questions from a Biblical worldview while providing mentoring and a network to continue conversations into their future careers. The Lachlan Macquarie Internship represents a more focussed continuation of Compass for those interested in public policy.
