We aim to disrupt cycles of disadvantage by tackling complex social issues.
Our research combines systems thinking, behavioural science and deep collaboration with partners and individuals with lived experience.
We are an applied research not-for-profit, created in Australia in 2022 by BIT (Behavioural Insights Team) and Nesta.
Our mission is to enable young people experiencing disadvantage to thrive.
Current research priorities include employment services, access to careers, youth mental health and early childhood education and care.
Our areas of expertise include:
Behavioural Science Our research is underpinned by a Behavioural Insights (BI) approach, combining disciplines such as psychology and behavioural economics.
Systems Thinking We develop a thorough understanding of complex systems so we can design effective and pragmatic solutions to hard-to-solve challenges.
Collaboration We partner with like-minded organisations and work closely with those with lived experience to amplify their perspectives.
We established the Centre for Behavioural and System Change to undertake our ambitious program of research, overseen by our Research Committee.
