From analysis to action
What we research
At Policy Institute Australia, we focus on the big levers of national prosperity, looking at ways to use market-oriented solutions, smart incentives, effective government and a dynamic private sector to drive long term, sustainable economic growth.
Our work is solutions-oriented, not just analysis for its own sake. Every project is designed to move beyond problem diagnosis into actionable reform. We are non-partisan, evidence-led and independent, and research and test ideas on their merit.
By combining rigorous research with market-informed insight, we develop and advocate for reforms that create measurable economic and social impact to unlock prosperity, equity, and opportunity for Australians across generations.

Match fit: Reinvigorating competition in Australia
Australia’s economy has become increasingly concentrated and less competitive.
