[6] Described by elements of the media as hard left, it regularly promoted ideologies and beliefs such as anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, feminism, and anti-racist arguments through its online spaces and community events.

The group has also made comment, through Facebook posts, printed flyers, and other media, on issues such as left populism, the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, rape culture,[9] carceral feminism,[10] Indigenous sovereignty,[11] Palestinian self-determination and the state of Israel, the rise of modern fascism, the Australian housing crisis of the 2010s,[12] public school funding, the RAAF's participation in the Syrian conflict,[13] the refugee crisis and Australia's refugee detention centres, penalty rates,[14] and many other progressive issues.

As part of the social justice principle, the group recognises the need to create alternatives to and challenge all authoritarian and exploitative economic models, which it argues must ultimately require socialising the means of production.

In terms of its internal organising practices, Left Renewal states that a "degree of tactical unity" is necessary in order to have real collective influence.

The group is generally in favour of a leader-less national structure, with greater agency invested in the states to allocate policy portfolios and other powers.

As part of this, it rejects the artificial creation of borders, and supports the liberation struggles of oppressed peoples for their sovereignty and land rights.

This includes state-mediated oppression in all of its forms, and recognises that violent apparatuses like the police force, "do not share an interest with the working class".

Finally, Left Renewal outlines their approach to environmental sustainability as a movement to achieve climate justice, primarily through forms of eco-socialism.

It is heavily argued that the intersection between society and environment cannot be separated, and that an internationalist perspective of climate justice is needed that recognises that all people are part of a global ecosystem irrespective of ethnicity, gender, or sexuality.

According to the group's own description, it is composed of rank and file Greens NSW members and as such MPs, MLCs, and senators are not eligible for membership.
