The Rural Development Centre
Mission of the Centre
The work of the Centre is concerned with the sources of, and responses to,
change affecting non-metropolitan Australia. The Centre aims to contribute
to the improvement of the quality of life of rural Australians through
applied research which increases and improves the understanding of the
processes of adjustment and development in rural Australia.
Objectives of the
Centre
The objectives of the Centre are:
- to undertake applied research on current issues in adjustment in rural
industries, regional and community adjustment and development, human and
community services in rural areas, and rural policy development;
- to distribute information based on the results of its research, and
encourage and promote the discussion and application of those results;
and
- to promote the development of improved rural policies.
