Testimonials

Tim Costello, CEO, World Vision Australia

“We are in the middle of a paradigm shift occurring around the world. We understand now, better than ever, that our wellbeing as peoples, and our progress as a nation, depends on much more than what economic measurements alone can tell us. By asking Australians their views on the direction the nation is headed, and developing a more holistic measure of progress, ANDI will be at the forefront of this international movement.”

“To measure progress, one needs to know what it looks like. Through the Global Project on “Measuring the Progress of Societies”, we encourage and help societies to have a dialogue about what progress means to them. ANDI is a good example of this type of dialogue and will certainly contribute positively to the measuring progress agenda.”

Don Henry, CEO, Australian Conservation Foundation

“We know that Australians value a healthy, thriving environment. ANDI provides the tool for Australians to express their aspirations on a national stage, so that we might turn that desire into a policy change for a sustainable future.”

Fiona Stanley, Director of the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth and Chair of the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY)

“The problems facing children and young people in our country are complex and unprecedented. Such problems require innovative, community driven solutions. A national index of progress will be an invaluable instrument to show us how we are progressing as a nation, to inform better policy outcomes towards a better future for our children.”
