Advocating for change

 

We constantly strive to bring about important system changes to improve the lives of Australians, regularly lobbying government, working with other community agencies, running campaigns, making submissions and contributing to public debate. Hanover’s General manager of Research and Organisation Development currently chairs the Australian Bureau of Statistics Technical Steering Committee.
