Society and wellbeing snapshot: We support policymakers in addressing Australia’s most pressing challenges in housing, health, education and more.
Advancing societal wellbeing in Australia requires practical, evidence-based approaches to address challenges such as the cost of living, housing affordability, healthcare access, and equal opportunities.
We work closely with policymakers to identify their challenges and leverage university expertise and evidence to find innovative solutions to these pressing issues, identifying actionable strategies that address local needs, support long-term sustainability, and create lasting, positive impact for all Australians.
