Policy and Advocacy Strategy

Governance Institute develops evidence-based policy, drawing on the fundamentals of governance excellence, to sustain and strengthen Australia’s economy and society. We contribute to the development of good public policy by taking credible, pragmatic and practical solutions to government and lead by example, through constructive thought leadership publications to educate and enforce the benefits of good governance.

Over 2026-2027, our strategic policy missions and associated campaigns have the following objectives:

Objective 1 – Increasing trust and confidence in institutions – Trust in institutions is both a lever of productivity and a pre-requisite for many other productivity policy levers to work. Australia’s governance environment needs to appropriately balance sound governance fundamentals promoting ethical conduct, transparency and accountability whilst continuing to increase confidence in and the integrity of our capital markets and other public institutions.

Objective 2 – Improving the productivity, competitiveness and resilience of Australia’s business community – can be achieved by continuing to develop a skilled, adaptable and productive workforce.
