LCC researchers will work with relevant government agencies to address policy gaps using rich tracts of administrative data. This engagement strategy will facilitate partnerships between the LCC team and government agencies to utilise administrative service data to inform policy and practice in the Australian human services sector. The ultimate goal of this project is to enable policy-makers and researchers to work together to influence positive changes in the life trajectories of disadvantaged Australians via research driven policy initiatives.
