The Resilient People and Places Program at the Centre for Policy Development supports government to be an active partner with communities, giving every individual in Australia the opportunity to thrive.
Through in-depth research and collaborations with diverse stakeholders the Resilient People and Places program is building a fairer, more resilient Australian society.
By facilitating dialogues and learning alongside initiatives that put people and community at the centre, the program is building a strong evidence base to support a more responsive, equitable and effective social services system.
We discover and promote best practice across government services including employment, settlement and migration, and early childhood development.
Through this work we are building a more inclusive and cohesive Australian society better able to withstand the economic, environmental and health shocks of the future.
