Informing policy, strategy and positive change

We uncover insights

Arcadia Social Research helps government agencies and not-for-profits understand their communities. Our expert team delivers tailored research and advanced analytics, revealing insights into people and their behaviours. We collaborate with organisations to shape strategies, inform policies, and evaluate program effectiveness.

Specialist sectors

  • Arcadia Social Research works closely with regulatory bodies, gambling operators, and public health organisations to identify effective measures for reducing the adverse impacts of gambling.  

  • Our research provides valuable insights into how communities perceive and interact with different issues, helping organisations tailor their strategies to meet the specific needs and expectations of diverse populations.

  • We collaborate with healthcare organisations, policymakers, and advocacy groups to generate evidence to inform public health interventions, shape policies, and promote positive health outcomes.

  • Arcadia Social Research partners with government agencies and community stakeholders to explore behaviours, attitudes, and policies that support environmental resilience, emergency and disaster preparedness and consumer behaviour that impacts the environment.

  • We work with educators and training providers to evaluate learning tools and initiatives, improve program effectiveness, and ensure education and training initiatives are responsive to evolving community and workforce needs.

  • Our team conducts research in partnership with justice agencies and community organisations to evaluate reform and enhance equity across the justice system.
