Education VICÂ introduces Grattan Institute in Carlton, for all your education and learning needs.
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 providing independent, rigorous and practical solutions to some of the country’s most pressing problems.
These three words are vital to Grattan’s mission. 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.
Grattan runs seven policy programs: Australian Perspectives, Cities, Energy, Health, Higher Education, Productivity Growth and School Education. We chose them because we believe they are vital to shaping Australia’s direction as a liberal democracy in a global economy.
We also believe they are areas where fact-based analysis and lively debate can change the minds of policy makers and the public, and where key issues are not being resolved. All our reports and most of our events are free and can be viewed online.
