Building evidence

Our team is skilled at generating, synthesising and evaluating evidence. We focus on presenting results in meaningful and useable ways.

Knowledge translation

We will help you share and translate knowledge in ways that mean something to you – and to those working with you.

Strengthening practice

We work with you to uncover evidence-based solutions tailored to your needs. This can involve adapting existing approaches or devising new ones.

Assessing impact

We bring a distinct advantage to conducting evaluations: our real-world experience. This makes your end-product more than just an academic exercise.

Implementation

We ensure the right plans and structures are in place so your evidence-based programs, services or ways of working are sustainable.

Innovative change solutions

With 25 years of expertise, we transform challenges into opportunities, delivering innovative, impactful solutions that drive success.

Your experience. Your voice. A better future for families.

The Parenting Today survey is a landmark research initiative led by the Parenting Research Centre, designed to capture a rich and up-to-date picture of parenting in Australia today.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, service provider, educator or policymaker, this survey matters to you – because your insight helps shape what better support looks like for all families.

The 2025 Parenting Today survey is now closed.

We’re enormously grateful to the thousands of parents and carers across Australia who took part, making the survey one of the most comprehensive snapshots of parenting in Australia to date.

What’s next?

Your input won’t sit on a shelf – we’re getting ready to analyse the data so that we can share insights with policymakers, services and the public. Findings from the Parenting Today survey will be used to inform real-world decisions – from national policy frameworks to local programs in your neighbourhood.

The Parenting Research Centre follows strict ethical guidelines to make sure your information is protected and that everyone feels respected and included. You can feel confident that your voice will be heard – and handled with care.

For organisations and sector partners

Community organisations, schools, health services and governments all play a role in supporting families. We want to work with you to ensure that families from diverse backgrounds and regions are included.

Talk to us if you are interested in:

  • exploring findings relevant to your work, with briefings and updates tailored to your audience
  • add modules on local priorities
  • fund nested projects to reach underrepresented groups
  • take a deeper dive into areas of local priority with tailored questions.
