Data and research are essential for the delivery of policy and programs that connect Australians, enrich communities and empower regions.
The Strategy outlines our commitment to increasing data capability to improve the way we work across our diverse department. Over the next 5 years, our Strategy will guide investment into increasing the department’s data maturity and the value of its data assets. This includes continuing to develop and support our data users and communities.
Our people will be empowered to cultivate a collaborative culture that values data, promotes ethical data practices and encourages use of innovative methods to solve complex problems. Our relationships will be enhanced, improving our access to suitable data. Data will guide and add value to advice, decision making and delivery of our policies, programs and services.

Enduring research questions represent long-standing areas of research that will remain central to the department’s priorities into the future. They are developed from the multiple policy touchpoints that government can have as steward of the markets our portfolio is responsible for, as well as the different lenses through which place-based issues are considered. There are also external drivers that affect markets and places, which impact on what research questions should be prioritised.
