Non-government community sector organisations (CSOs) have come to assume an increasingly important role in Australian social policy. CSOs have expanded their role as service providers, and many have also increased their policy capacity in recent deacades. Policy staff have been recruited into CSOs, complementing the traditional focus on services and advocacy. The concept of ‘policy analytical capacity’, referring to the capacity within organisations to acquire and utilise knowledge in policy processes, helps to highlight changes in the sector. The chapter also explores how Australian social policy processes might be affected by policy analysis and policy research becoming more strongly positioned in the community sector.
Keywords: Australian policy analysis, nongovernment organisations, community sector organisations, policy advocacy, service delivery
