About AIFS

AIFS’ strategic research agenda guides our research focus, with mechanisms for annual review and priority setting. It supports us to provide robust and independent evidence that drives positive outcomes for families.

Australian Institute of Family Studies annual reports describe the research and operations of the Institute, along with highlights for the year.

The AIFS Corporate Plan 2026–27 to 2029–30 describes our strategic direction and priorities for the next 4 years. It outlines our purpose, operating environment and research themes, along with the approach to delivering evidence-based insights that inform policy and practice helping families to thrive.
