Grattan Institute is an Australian public policy think tank, established in 2008. The Melbourne-based institute is non-aligned, defining itself as contributing "to public policy in Australia as a liberal democracy in a globalised economy." It is partly funded by a $34 million endowment, with major contributions from the Federal Government, the Government of Victoria, the University of Melbourne and BHP.[1] It is named after Grattan St, a street next to Melbourne University.[2]
Grattan Institute currently focuses on six key policy areas: Budgets and Government, Disability, Energy and Climate Change, Health, Education, and Economic Policy.[3] Its programs are chosen with the belief that research into these areas, in line with principles of evidence-based policy can make a demonstrable difference to Australia’s public policy. Grattan Institute also makes provision for experts in other fields to work under its umbrella.[3]
