About the CNI

We believe that Australia needs a vision of the future that provides greater employment opportunities for workers and their families, greater stability and security for regional communities, and better equips Australia to respond and adapt to economic and industrial change.

We believe that Australia cannot rely on top-down solutions to economic development, but must work with community, workers and industry to create long lasting, sustainable economic growth. Our unique country, with a vast land mass and low population density, requires unique economic solutions to the challenges we face as a nation. The Centre will support the development of these solutions by producing detailed yet accessible research that is grounded in the experiences of people and place to explore the skills formation and industry policy requirements for successful shift to a zero carbon, full employment economy.
