Our 2020 reflections

Despite the challenging year, we've also had our fair share of highlights and wins for catalysing social change. Learn more about just some of them in our Year in Review


Our CEO, Professor Kristy Muir, has written a 2020 resilience wrap: Mozzies, ticks and parasites.

And from all of us at CSI, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season! We'll be back from 4 January, 2021.

     

#Research

Pulse report launches

We've just launched the first major report in our Pulse of the For-Purpose Sector initiative - a deep dive into the impacts of 2020 on the Australian for-purpose sector.


“This is only the first of many reports. CSI is excited to continue this research and seeks to contribute to relief and renewal efforts by arming the organisations and communities that the social sector serves with the data, knowledge and insights needed to recover from the devastations of 2020 and future events.” - CSI CEO, Professor Kristy Muir
