Event overview
The rigour of our democracy, strength of our institutions and independent advice that has informed reform and policy agendas have been important ingredients to Australia’s record-breaking run of economic growth.

CEDA convenes this panel of experts from across the country for the first time to share insights into their work; detail the productivity imperative; debate solutions to important policy questions; and discuss the critical role of independent advice and voices in this era of scrutiny and a deficit in trust.

Gather your colleagues and guests and join CEDA’s audience of leaders from across sectors to hear directly from the panel and pose your questions.
