How We Work: Industry Partnering and Research

The SKE Industry Partnering and Research Program brings together the best and brightest people from across governments, academia, industry, unions and associations to investigate, research, test and develop practical programs and tools for the benefit of Australian workplaces as a whole.

We run collaborative projects and prepare guidelines and tools, thought leadership pieces, policy submissions and research papers to influence policy directions and workplace practices.
