Grattan Institute contributes to public policy in Australia as a liberal democracy in a globalised economy. Our work is independent, rigorous and practical. We foster informed public debate on the key issues for Australia, through both private forums and public events, engaging key decision makers and the broader community.

The current programs of Grattan Institute focus on productivity growth, cities, school education, tertiary education, and energy. These programs were selected as important to Australia’s future, where fact-based analysis could assist the debate, and where we believed key issues could benefit from further public debate.
