Struggling to sift through long reports? Need a solution for your Minister—yesterday?
Built for staffers, MPs and public servants. Backed by experts.
Policy shapes everything—yet expert-led, evidence-based ideas often fail to reach decision-makers at the right time or in the right format, stalling progress and missing critical moments for reform.
As a non-partisan social enterprise (run 100% by volunteers), we collaborate with experts, advocates, and policymakers to build and maintain tools that Australia’s policy community can trust and turn to time and time again. Working across sectors and party lines, we create resources—like our Policy Library of One-Page Briefs and training programs—that make evidence-based ideas easier to express, find, weigh, and act on.
That way, when a policy window opens, you've always got something ready in your bottom drawer.
