- Our Climate & Recovery Initiative is driving crucial collaboration to align Australia’s economic recovery with acceleration towards a net zero economy. Our most recent public forum with Commonwealth Treasury Secretary Steven Kennedy, Macquarie Group CEO Shemara Wikramanayake, and US Treasury Climate Counsellor John Morton received substantial media coverage and built momentum for Australia’s sustainable economy in the wake of COP26.
- Our Early Childhood Development Initiative recently published Starting Better: A Guarantee for Young Children and Families. We firmly believe the reforms proposed can make Australia the best place in the world to be a child, and to raise one.
- We we have scaled our international work dramatically. The Asia Dialogue on Forced Migration continued to drive more effective, durable, and dignified policies for displaced peoples in our region. This year saw the founding of a Regional Peer-Learning Platform on Alternatives to Child Detention, co-convened by the Centre for Policy Development, supporting progress in Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and New Zealand.
- Our work on public sector capability was spotlighted in Radio National’s series on changes to the Australian Public Service. We separately addressed a Senate Inquiry into public sector capability, elevating the need for an active and capable government in our national discussion — our recommendations were prominent in the final report.
Thanks to a generous and diverse funding base drawn from across Australian society, we have grown, and are now much bigger (nearly six times bigger) than we were in 2015.
Our method works. It is built on quality research, a capability to grow coalitions, and a track record of delivering deep, practical, far-reaching system change.
