As the official think tank of the Australian Labor Party, our mission is to champion a Labor culture of ideas.
Named in honour of Labor’s hero Prime Minister, Ben Chifley, and inspired by his words that “Labor must not only desire to win, it must deserve to win”, we seek to advance the principles of democracy, equality and opportunity by undertaking a rich program of progressive thinking.
Our diverse program of social democratic policy work and thought leadership is our distinctive contribution to the task of building a fairer Australia.
