Our research is your evidence.
We bring leading behaviour change researchers and practitioners together to find behavioural solutions to social, environmental and organisational problems. We work within Monash Universities Sustainable Development Institute.
Established in 2011, BehaviourWorks Australia is the largest applied behaviour change research unit in Australia. We continue to grow in size, project scope, partnerships and networks, however, our approach has remained the same. Our foundations were built on the belief that by taking a partnership-approach we can bring together our research rigour and valuable industry experience to find powerful solutions to solve real-world problems.
Our work has spanned over hundreds of projects with our government, industry and community partners in areas including health, climate change, energy, water, waste, pollution, biodiversity, biosecurity, education, social inclusion, finance, safety, and organisational change.
Persuading people is both an art and a science. Our central premise is that most problems can be at least partially solved by influencing the behaviours that underpin them. By using insights from behavioural science, organisations can avoid making misguided assumptions about the influences on behaviour and the types of interventions that are most likely to work.
Given the complexity of human behaviour, BehaviourWorks Australia employs PhD qualified researchers across multiple disciplines. Many of these researchers have worked in government and industry and are attuned to the systems and processes of both the public sector and business.
