Project aims
The project aims to advance knowledge about the intended and unintended consequences of policy on health and well-being. It expects to innovate through new methods and novel data to integrate policy evaluation into the policy cycle in a timely fashion to prevent harm from occurring. It also leverages technology to track policy effects in real time.
Expected outcomes of this project include new knowledge and enhanced policy infrastructure using new methods and interdisciplinary approaches.
Significant benefits include improvements to:
- policy management by government departments;
- the health and wellbeing of the Australians they serve;
- our Partners' capacity to consult governments on how technology can assist policy management.
