ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE
The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra. It
is funded by donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals and commissioned
research. We barrack for ideas, not political parties or candidates. Since its launch in
1994, the Institute has carried out highly influential research on a broad range of
economic, social and environmental issues.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
As we begin the 21st century, new dilemmas confront our society and our planet.
Unprecedented levels of consumption co-exist with extreme poverty. Through new
technology we are more connected than we have ever been, yet civic engagement is
declining. Environmental neglect continues despite heightened ecological awareness.
A better balance is urgently needed.
The Australia Institute’s directors, staff and supporters represent a broad range of
views and priorities. What unites us is a belief that through a combination of research
and creativity we can promote new solutions and ways of thinking.
OUR PURPOSE
–
‘RESEARCH THAT MATTERS’
The Institute publishes research that contributes to a more just, sustainable and
peaceful society. Our goal is to gather, interpret and communicate evidence in order to
both diagnose the problems we face and propose new solutions to tackle them.
The Institute is wholly independent and not affiliated with any other organisation.
Donations to its Research Fund are tax deductible for the donor. Anyone wishing to
donate can do so via the website at https://www.australiainstitute.org.au or by calling

can to donate in this way as it assists our research in the most significant manner.
