Who our research serves
The Transparency Objective is designed for anyone who wants reliable, evidence-based information. Our audience includes members of the public, journalists, researchers, students, policymakers and community organisations looking for official information that has been brought together into one accessible place. Whether you are researching a specific issue or simply want to better understand public policy, our aim is to make that information easier to find, verify and understand.
