Six core themes guide our efforts to deliver human flourishing solutions in our communities, across the nation, and in our Asia-Pacific region through mission-driven, interdisciplinary and impactful research.
Advancing education, empowering futures
We advance the entire education ecosystem - students, teachers, principals, families and support systems - through research across the lifespan. By strengthening every link in this system, we create educational institutions at the heart of thriving communities and human flourishing.
Open hearts, open minds
We leverage research into religion and meaning to understand their influence on social cohesion. We examine both the positive contributions of religion to society and the tensions it can generate, exploring the role of faith in fostering dialogue and friendship across difference.
Decisions for dignity
We tackle complex challenges at the intersection of business, technology, politics and society through environmental, social and governance research that places human needs at the centre of decision-making and strengthens ethical, inclusive and just institutions.
Respecting voice, upholding rights
We are committed to research that supports the self-determination rights of First peoples, including the right to maintain cultural traditions and identity.
Caring for those who care
We drive innovation in the care economy to meet the evolving needs of our community. The care economy encompasses the provision of care services, both paid and unpaid, that are essential for the daily wellbeing and functioning of individuals and society.
Together, for good
We confront the urgent challenge of protecting our common home by working to bring the whole human family together (Laudato Si', 13). Upholding the dignity of each person, we draw on wisdom across religious and spiritual traditions to promote peace and solidarity for the flourishing of all life.
