Grattan Institute

Grattan Institute is an independent think tank dedicated to developing high quality public policy for Australia’s future. It was formed in 2008 in response to a widespread view in government and business that Australia needed a non-partisan think tank to conduct analysis on important issues where evidence-based analysis could make a difference.

We are independent, taking the perspective of the Australian public interest rather than any interest group. We avoid commissioned work to ensure this independence. We are rigorous in obtaining the best available evidence from our own data analysis and from published work . And we are practical in articulating what governments should do to improve the lives of all Australians.
