20 Years of AHURI - Flipbook - Page 8
Testimonials
Hon Scott Morrison MP,
Prime Minister of Australia
“It’s great to see AHURI celebrating its 20th anniversary. I want
to express my deep admiration and respect for the work you
do in developing housing policy research. So much of what we
do is based off the work and advice of AHURI. I‘ve been a keen
reader of your publications for many years and it has informed
greatly the views that I have been able to frame from a policy
point of view and in directing the policy of my government on
these issues.”
Michael Coutts-Trotter,
Department of Communities
and Justice, NSW
“AHURI really is one of Australia’s great public institutions
connecting the best academic researchers with practitioners
and policy makers. As a result, policy is undoubtedly better
informed by evidence and research is better directed at primary
policy problems.”
Associate Professor
Vivienne Milligan PSM,
UNSW Sydney
“Without question, discussion and debate in the Australian
housing policy community has been strongly informed by the
extensive evidence-base built up through AHURI’s research
programs and their associated dissemination activities.
AHURI research has also helped to fill a key gap in the
Australian housing domain–the otherwise almost complete
lack of independent systematic evaluation of housing policies,
programs and projects.”
Katherine McKernan,
Homelessness NSW
“AHURI has had a huge influence on policy and practice in
Australia–the best example of this is during the development
of the NAHA and the NPAH–research influencing the policy
development and allocation of resources.”
John Brockhoff,
Planning Institute
of Australia
“PIA continues to strongly support AHURI’s research efforts and
their growing role in urban policy. We have consistently found
AHURI’s research integrity and the practical outcomes of their
work to be have been an invaluable resource in our practice.”
Dr Jeff Harmer AO
Former Secretary, FaHCSIA
and Former Director
AHURI Board
“I have been delighted to have been associated with AHURI,
as a director for the past 8 years and before that as an adviser
to Government on housing policy, where AHURI research was
so important. AHURI’s research has been crucial in developing
housing and urban planning policy for 20 years and they have
played a really important role developing the expertise of
university academics.”
