Consumer trust and confidence is critical to economic recovery. We are tracking the experience, behaviours, expectations and challenges of Australian consumers every month from May to October. Our Consumers and COVID-19 report explores the consumer protections introduced internationally and locally, emerging and amplified vulnerabilities across the community, and the building blocks for policymakers and businesses supporting consumers through to recovery.

About us
At CPRC we’re committed to doing things differently through our research. We listen to the expectations, hopes and experiences of consumers around Victoria and Australia. We amplify the bright ideas of consumers, leading thinkers, and bold advocates. We analyse public policy and business practices to identify the gaps, the leading practices, and opportunities for change.
Most importantly, we facilitate conversations that matter to build a stronger shared understanding across government, industry and the community sector about ways to improve the lives and welfare of consumers.
