"What is needed in tackling our toughest social problems is not more ideology, but an evidence-based attempt to find out what works and what does not. In the same way as we employ rigorous research methodologies to try to find a cure for cancer or AIDS, we must do the same with our most difficult policy challenges". Professor Andrew Leigh, ANU and Committee Member

The surpluses from every event, every research project and every social enterprise established contributes to responding to this challenge. We pride ourselves on our operation as a profit for purpose research institute and think tank.

This means that every dollar YOU spend goes into funding research that focuses on what works and what does not. Our philosophy is simple. We believe good research informs good policy-making and thus, good political leadership.

We have established an independent Gift Fund led by an eminent and independent Australian Research Committee to lead our work.

It’s our mission to raise Australia’s biggest and most useful independent public policy and social research fund to create the ideas to practically solve our key challenges.
