About the Conference
Australia has weathered the global shocks of the past decade better than most, but can we build on the model to meet the challenges of the future.
The consistent thread running through all our previous conferences has been that continued policy reform can enrich Australia’s overall well-being while providing opportunities for all. The format has established itself as the nation’s premiere economic and social public policy conference, providing a unique forum bringing together leading politicians, bureaucrats, academics and non-government organisation representatives.

Sessions
