Centre for Public Value UWA
About the Centre
The establishment of this centre is motivated by the opportunity for making a real and substantial contribution to Australian and regional communities. The institutionalisation of the work of Not-for-profits UWA will allow the substantial work to be continued while ensuring that the longevity of the research program is not person-dependent. The creation of this centre will also increase our national and international visibility, develop opportunities for greater resourcing from funders and build on the UWA Business School’s reputation for impactful and relevant research.
Aims and Objectives
The aims of the centre are to institutionalise research outcomes by formalising the work already underway by the Not-for-profits UWA Research Group and to increase outputs and impact by increasing research and engagement activities. To achieve this, the centre will pursue the following objectives:
- Create a theme of research focused on the systemic evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of the Australasian human services sector.
- Incorporate current activities, and develop additional activities, into the theme of research focused on achieving systemic governance, accountability and transparency.
- Incorporate current activities, and develop additional activities, into the theme of research focused on establishing necessary high quality data assets and linking extant data assets to facilitate the development of high-quality research outcomes and to encourage HDR students to pursue studies in this area within the UWA Business School.
- Incorporate current activities, and develop additional activities, into the theme of research focused on the economics of the Australasian human services sector.
