Established in 1993, the Centre works collaboratively and in partnership with other researchers, communities, community-based organisations, government and professionals in relevant fields to advance knowledge and promote positive change in policy, practice and people’s lives. The last two Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) evaluations judged research at ARCSHS to be ‘well above world standard’ (Category 5). The ARCSHS Annual Reports provide a record of the broad range of work conducted by the Centre. The latest Centre Strategic Plan outlines the key strategic direction for the Centre from 2020-2023.
