BCR turns one

The BCR today marks its first anniversary in the communications portfolio.

The BCR was established last September as an economic and statistical research unit within the department to support evidence-based policymaking that helps all Australians enjoy the benefits of modern communications.

Communications is a fast and dynamic sector and the BCR’s role is to step back from the hype and look at what is really going on, with the aim of stimulating informed discussion around emerging policy issues.
