Our Policy & Impact team
Policy and Impact
MSDI's dedicated Policy & Impact team is empowering leaders and change makers, supporting system reform and helping to promote the SDGs through transformative impact projects.
OUR WORK
Empowering Leaders and Change-makers
We work with policy, business and community leaders to build the skillsets and mindsets needed to solve complex problems. We work with political and public sector leaders to be more effective, and train the next generation of community change-makers. Explore our Leave No One Behind Program.
Supporting System Reform
We design and support systemic reform agendas - working with policymakers to understand complex problems, identify system leverage points and develop policy options. We have recently supported the Independent Review into Victoria's Vocational Education and Training System and the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System.
Promoting the SDGs
We enable action for sustainable development. We support the National Sustainable Development Council and the Transforming Australia project – measuring Australia’s progress on the SDGs and highlighting the potential impacts of COVID-19 on Australia’s ability to meet the 2030 targets.
