We undertake research and data analysis to support evidence-based policy through the Bureau of Communications, Arts and Regional Research (BCARR) and the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE). The work of our two bureaus informs Australian Government policy and wider community understanding on infrastructure, transport, regional development, communications and the arts.
The Federal election was called on 28 March 2025. As this website is hosted by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, the site will only be updated with material in line with the Caretaker Conventions.
