2013.0144 CONSULTATION AND ANNUAL REPORTS [1960-1982] Creator(s): Australian Frontier Incorporated [1962-c.1979], Social Policy Archive [1993-1997] This collection comprises a number of published reports of Australian Frontier Inc into specific social issues or problems. Each report is a discrete study of something such as a problem in a specific community or more broadly such as the issue of the funding of political parties in Australia. Unit three contains a number of newsletters from the organisation. The reports were commissioned by and funded by organisations such as NGOs in the welfare sector and the report was the work of a committee of select, professional individuals brought together to investigate the issue at hand. The reports are all published and come in the form of professional research papers. There is no discernable order to the records. The series was transferred from the RMIT Social Policy Archive where it had been transferred in the 1990s as part of a collection strategy to capture the records of community sector organisations operating in the welfare sector. Within the SPA, these records were not identified as series and may have been waiting processing into the archives. There are numbers on the items but these appear not to relate to the SPA. 3 Units, (0.5m) Community and Political, organisations
