The Breaking Down Barriers project seeks to inform and shape policy and practice to break cycles of poverty in Australia.

The project addresses the need for accessing better data that will allow an increased understanding of the extent, nature, and causes of socio-economic disadvantage and encourages solutions that will enable program development and policy innovation that can make a real difference to individuals and broader communities.
