CEDA – the Committee for Economic Development of Australia – is an independent, membership-based think tank. Working with our members, we identify policy issues that matter for Australia’s future and pursue solutions that deliver better economic and social outcomes for the greater good. CEDA has 770 members. Our cross- sector membership spans every state and territory and includes Australia's leading businesses, community organisations, government departments and academic institutions.

Membership Organisations join CEDA because CEDA delivers exposure to high level thought leadership, timely briefings on issues of economic importance, access to networking and brand reach through sponsorship and hosting opportunities. In addition to high profile public events, CEDA also delivers regular member only events for employees of member organisations and exclusive Trustee only boardroom briefings for senior executives from member organisations. These provide a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer knowledge exchange and for speakers and attendees to talk candidly on issues.

Research and policy 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 directions in a diverse range of policy areas. Research in 2020 will explore unlocking data in the public interest, release the second Community Pulse nationwide survey, discuss the skills mismatch in the permanent migration system, and release the second report in our series on disadvantage.
