With offices sprinkled all over the nation, our client offers a unique perspective into the hearts and minds of everyday Aussies. They use a broad mix of research, evaluation and data gathering to inform policy making and resource allocation for some of society’s most key issues: think financial support to disadvantaged communities, addressing cost of living pressures, developing infrastructure in cities and regional areas and building appropriate defence.

The Role
