Improving the wellbeing of current and future generations requires a shift in mindset when it comes to what we think of as progress.
We promote policy approaches that meet the needs of people and the environment, that are values-driven, holistic and preventative.
Seeing policy ideas through a wellbeing lens leads to decisions that reflect community values, respect environmental bounds and deploy resources more effectively for the common good.
Our vision is to embed wellbeing at the heart of Australian policymaking in a way that will lead to effective and systemic change.
Avoidable Costs is a report that addresses the substantial costs governments incur by failing to address the root causes of issues, and makes the financial case for prevention and tackling problems early.
Embedding Progress is a report from the Centre for Policy Development that provides governments with a practical manual for how to achieve better outcomes for the people they serve.
The Wellbeing Economy in Brief series is a collection of mini briefing papers that look at the idea of a wellbeing economy, how it relates to other ideas for economic change, and what some of the core elements of a wellbeing economy are.
