Verian Australia's new MD, Melanie Wiese, had a chance to meet some of Adelaide's clients at an informal breakfast presentation of our data around Australian's preparedness for crisis.

Representatives from the Department of Premier and Cabinet, SA Water, Brand SA, the Department of Primary Industries and Regions, Return to Work SA and Vinnies joined us to share their insights and learn from ours, around how Australia stacks up against other 'middle powers' when it comes to our preparedness and ability to cope with future challenges, opportunities and risks.

The Verian Institute for Public Impact brings citizen insights to coalitions from government, the private sector and the third sector to consider policy and public impact. Working multilaterally, it convenes in Brussels, London, Berlin, Paris and Canberra. Please sign up to our Verian Institute for Public Impact mailing list for more insights and updates.
