Solving the toughest policy challenges facing Australia and the region

The Centre for Policy Development goes beyond research and advocacy—we drive policy from idea to implementation.

By ensuring our proposals are practical and gaining buy-in from policymakers, communities, business, and industry, we create lasting change. This hands-on approach sets us apart and ensures a real, tangible impact on the wellbeing of all.

Our work has significantly impacted policy in both Australia and Southeast Asia. We’ve influenced legislation requiring companies to disclose their climate footprint, driven reforms in employment and early childhood education, promoted wellbeing measures in government decision-making, and advanced support for refugees and displaced people in the region.

Our focus is on building a better tomorrow.
