Government & Social Research
As a leading public sector research consultancy, we work with major Commonwealth and many State government agencies. In an age where many research agencies are outsourcing more and more important functions, we keep our capabilities in-house to provide a level of project management and quality control which outsourcing agencies cannot match. Our Government and Social Research team conducts the full range of qualitative and quantitative research and evaluation studies. In particular, we specialise in:
- Program, policy and service evaluations – big or small.
- Social marketing research – to support the development, refinement and evaluation of government communication campaigns.
- Gambling related research – we have substantial experience in conducting international gambling prevalence studies.
- Employment and education studies, especially those involving complex sample design and large scale survey work.
- Tourism and travel research – we are the leading source of information on Australia’s travel and tourism sectors.
- Indigenous research – we are experienced at conducting tailored qualitative and quantitative research across urban, regional and remote contexts in a culturally sensitive way that still meets Departments’ requirements for timely, practical outcomes.
- Multicultural research – we are Australia’s leading provider of multilingual research, conducting over 200,000 non-English language interviews per year – online, CATI and face-to-face.
- Stakeholder, community and customer satisfaction surveys.
- Research utilising technology based solutions and high level analytics.
