The John Curtin Institute of Public Policy (JCIPP), established in 2004, is a research centre within Curtin University’s Faculty of Business and Law. The JCIPP undertakes high quality research, provides relevant education tailored to the public sector, and promotes public debate and discussion on a range of public policy issues. Its academic staff have published widely on federalism, intergovernmental relations, and state and national politics. They also supervise PhD students conducting research in federalism. The Institute has hosted many visiting federalism scholars, and has several high profile Adjuncts with backgrounds in Australian government and politics. The JCIPP is closely associated with the Australia and New Zealand School of Government, and partners regularly with the Forum of Federations.
