Over the next decade, plans are to build at least $65-$85 billion in transmission lines across the east coast of Australia, more than tripling the value of our transmission grid. Transmission is essential for our energy transition, as renewable generation replaces our ageing coal fired power stations that are nearing the end of life.

Independent policy solutions for a more prosperous Australia
Advancing pragmatic policy solutions to ensure prosperity and opportunity for future generations
Policy Institute Australia has been formed to examine ways to unlock the nation’s economic potential and position itself for enduring prosperity in the 21st century. We recognise that Australians value our caring society and that capitalism, free enterprise and a well-functioning market economy are the foundations needed to support the aspirations of our community. Policy Institute Australia is non-partisan, evidence-led and independent, established with generous support from the John and Myriam Wylie Foundation. We are governed by a national board chaired by John Wylie AC, with directors from across Australia: Glyn Davis AC, Peter Harris AO, Paul Kelly, Jenn Morris OAM, and Kate Torney OAM.
With vision, vigour and veracity

Who do we serve?
Linking policy and possibility for all Australians
We engage with policymakers, business leaders, subject matter experts and the broader community to bridge policy and possibility.
For all Australians
How do you face the future with confidence when housing, the cost of living and job uncertainty make everything feel out of reach?
We offer big policy ideas that are real and relatable, connecting reforms to everyday issues such as the cost of living, job opportunities and security for our long term prosperity. Our goal is simple: to show how bold reforms couched in principles of market-based solutions, smart incentives, effective government and a dynamic private sector can build a future where all Australians can thrive.
WITH COURAGE AND CONVICTION
Driven by evidence, not affiliation
We are philanthropically funded, non-partisan, evidence-led and independent, uninfluenced by political cycles, institutional ties, or funding from governments or politically parties. That independence empowers us to challenge, to examine and to advocate for first-best solutions.
Led by accomplished changemakers from across Australia, Policy Institute Australia combines rigour, pragmatism, and imagination to put bold, economically grounded reforms on the table. Our Board represents respected voices from policy, business, and media, united by a commitment to strengthening Australia’s future.
