Our People
The Stretton Institute shapes policy debate by bringing current and rigorous research to policy issues.
We bring together researchers and experts from across the University of ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ to address key policy issues of relevance to government.Â
Named after Hugh Stretton, the Institute has a strong social justice focus and drives a multi-disciplinary and multi-method research approach that:
- Stimulate ideas and innovation; and
- Evaluate programs and policies.
The Institute fosters and builds partnerships across the University as well as nationally and internationally.
