The Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) helps to build a strong and fair society for all Australians. We develop social policies to increase opportunities to participate in our society and work; promote a cohesive and connected society; support basic living standards; and support individuals, families and communities to building their capacity.

The Social Research Centre

The Social Research Centre provides the Australian social science research community with access to world class survey research services and a full range of survey design, data management, analytical and qualitative skills. Our motivation stems from the desire to collect data of the highest quality, to undertake research in the public good and to enhance knowledge and contribute to informed decision-making. Our goal is to be internationally acknowledged as a centre for excellence in the provision of social science research services.
