Evidence Based Policy Making 2009
National Convention Centre, Canberra

Whilst the concept of Evidence Based Policy is far from new the movement for this type of policy has received a boost through the government’s reform agenda for the APS. With increased pressure on departments to tailor practices and respond to global issues that may be intrinsically uncertain, the urgency for effective policy making has never been greater.

In order to keep pace with fellow states and international governments, departments continue to strive for innovative policy through timely and relevant statistical data.

The two-day conference fleshes out the key elements that underpin this method of policy making from the research to the policy design stage.
