Are you a driven researcher who is skilled at synthesising the best available evidence for improved decision making in policy and practice? Are you passionate about the translation of research to achieve better outcomes for families?

About us
We are the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS), the Australian Government’s key independent research body and advisor in the area of family wellbeing, based in the Melbourne CBD.
