than 50 years, CEDA has delivered informed discourse and rigorous research to
influence good public policy for Australia’s economic and social development.

CEDA’s only agenda is to pursue good public policy to progress Australia’s
economic and social development. Since 1960 CEDA has produced more than
3000 publications, research reports and articles highlighting emerging issues and
