better economic, social and environmental outcomes for Australia. CEDA's cross-
sector membership spans every state and territory and includes more than 780 of

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 2019 will focus on
Australia’s long-term budget position, the effects of temporary migration, a survey
of Australian businesses on their approach to economic development, and new
approaches to addressing entrenched disadvantage.
