Fostering economic participation in remote Australia

The relationship between communities and their economic participation and development is inter-related and multi-faceted.

Acknowledging this, CRC-REP worked with the people, businesses and organisations in remote Australia to systematically research and provide practical responses to the complex issues that drive economic participation in this region.

Our twelve research projects were clustered into three overarching and interlinked programs:

• Regional Economies – building robust economies across remote Australia, vital to increasing the level of economic participation
• Enterprise Development – creating successful business models for remote locations to ensure long-term growth, employment and improved livelihoods
• Investing in People – improving the pathways for remote Australians from education and training through to employment and enterprise development.

Each project was led by a Principal Research Leader and supported by partners, a research team and an advisory group, and was overseen by the General Managers Research.

Projects operated collaboratively to ensure that the most effective research and outcomes were delivered for all.
