Welcome to the Australian Influence Tracker, a searchable database of connections between corporations, lobbying groups, political entities, funding initiatives, and other forms of influence across Australia. This powerful tool helps citizens, journalists, and researchers understand who may have power to influence Australian politics and how, when, and where that power is wielded.
Number of connections currently in database: 493103
Enter any organisation or individual name below to find their known connections to lobbying activities, fossil fuel sponsorships, political funding, and education initiatives. All data in the database is gathered from publicly available sources, such as lobbying registers, donation databases, media reporting, and website text.
Organisations and individuals often use different names in different contexts (e.g., trading names). The results below show all entities containing your search term. Select those that are relevant to your search in order to view detailed connection information about them.
| Name | Select (max 30) |
|---|
The search results show all entities that match your query, which may include slight name variations. Additionally, some entries represent group meetings or events—for example, a ministerial diary entry might list the minister along with all attendees (e.g., "Steve Groves, Arthur Fogarty, Roshana May, Anthony Scarcella, Minister Dominic Perrottet"). These appear as single entries because they were recorded together in the source document. Select the relevant entities to view their individual connections in the database.
The table below shows all documented connections for your selected entity. Each row represents a relationship between and organisation/individual (labelled as 'Entity') and another organisation/individual (labelled as 'Target').
This visualisation shows how your selected entity connects to other organisations and individuals in our database. Larger nodes indicate entries with more connections. Hover over any connection line to see relationship details.

This database is being added to continuously. Help us make it more comprehensive and accurate by:
InfluenceTracker consolidates publicly available data primarily from Australian lobbying registers across jurisdictions, supplemented with additional publicly sourced information about connections between registered entities and other organisations. Data is included if it relates to entities listed on lobbying registers or other influence databases, with connections added only when supported by publicly verifiable URLs as evidence.
Important Limitations: This database represents documented connections at specific points in time and may not reflect current status or activity levels. Users should independently verify information and seek additional context before drawing conclusions.
Data Accuracy: While we strive for accuracy, users are responsible for confirming information independently. InfluenceTracker makes no warranties about completeness, accuracy, or currency of the data.
Relationship Definitions: Connections shown represent documented associations between entities. The existence of a connection does not imply impropriety or inappropriate influence.
