The Australia Institute is an Australian public policy think tank based in Canberra, with offices also in Hobart and Adelaide. Since its launch in 1994, it has carried out research on a broad range of economic, social, and environmental issues. The Australia Institute takes a bipartisan approach to research, but has been described as a "progressive" or "left-leaning" think-tank.
