about CEDA
CEDA – the Committee for Economic Development of Australia – is an independent,
membership-based think tank. We deliver on our purpose by:
•Undertaking research to understand the most important issues Australia faces.
•Creating platforms to inform, stimulate ideas and promote debate of critical issues.
•Facilitating collaboration to inspire innovative and progressive policy solutions.
•Influencing decision makers by delivering compelling evidence and
recommendations and advocating in support of our positions.
Membership

CEDA has almost 700 members including leading Australian businesses,
community organisations, government departments and academic institutions. Our
cross-sector membership spans every state and territory. Organisations join CEDA
because CEDA delivers exposure to high level thought leadership, timely briefings
on issues of economic importance, access to networking and brand reach through
sponsorship and hosting opportunities. In addition to high profile public events,
CEDA also delivers regular member only events for employees of member
organisations and exclusive Trustee only boardroom briefings for senior executives
from member organisations. These provide a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer
knowledge exchange and for speakers and attendees to talk candidly on issues.

Research and policy
Our purpose is to identify policy issues that matter for Australia’s future and
pursue solutions that deliver better economic and social outcomes for the greater
good. Since 1960 CEDA has produced more than 3000 publications, research
reports and articles highlighting emerging issues and directions in a diverse range
of policy areas. Our research program is currently focused on public interest
technology, migration policy, business competitiveness and dynamism, human
services including disrupting disadvantage and housing and trends in future
economic development.
