newDemocracy
newDemocracy is first and foremost a research organisation. Our principal interest is to ensure citizens trust government decision making.
We do this by working with governments to design and operate public engagement projects that enable everyday people to contribute to reaching shared and trusted recommendations around challenging areas of public policy. We seek to work exclusively with government decision-making and not for private individuals or companies. [Accessed 20 October 2021]

Susan McKinnon Foundation
Australia’s democracy and its institutions are struggling to address the many issues our nation must urgently tackle if we are to remain a dynamic, fair and prosperous country in the 21st century.
Rather than focusing on a specific or single policy area, the Foundation’s objective is to help Australia achieve a more fit-for-purpose, effective political and policy system overall.
That is because the Foundation strongly believes improving the overall system as well as the performance of our elected politicians will improve Australia’s capabilities to advance every individual policy reform we need to make now and in the future. [Accessed 20 October 2021]
