UWA Public Policy Institute
“Improving lives through evidence-based policy”
Welcome to the UWA Public Policy Institute (UWA PPI), where we bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world impact. At UWA PPI, we bring the University of Western Australia's expertise to bear on pressing social, economic, and political issues across Western Australia, Australia, and the broader Indian Ocean region.

Indian Ocean Futures: Prospects for Shared Regional SuccessFrom reimagining of the Ocean as a trade destination rather than simply a route through which trade passes, through to using quinoa to alleviate food insecurity in South Asia, and unlocking the boundless potential of the African diaspora in Australia, Indian Ocean Futures is a prospectus for a concentration of minds, stimulating fresh debate about the extent, limits and nature of great regional cohesion. |
WA 2050: People, Place, ProsperityWhat could Western Australia look like at mid-century and how do we get there?

Public Policy Engagement Guide: A Tool for UWA ResearchersThe only publicly-available guide of its kind in Australia, this publication upskills UWA researchers on how to engage potential government collaborators and funders, and how to make policy impact. It is a complement to the biannual 'How to work with government' researcher training workshops. |
