Flinders University’s ground breaking initiative, the Flinders Wicked Problems Report, is an unprecedented opportunity for Australians to decide which issues leading researchers should prioritise in their communities.

Skyrocketing living costs, the housing crisis, crime, environmental destruction, and trust in government and public institutions are among the top concerns identified by Australians in the initial results of Flinders University’s National Flinders Wicked Problems Report.

Beginning with focused conversations with groups of people in South Australia to gather initial insights, Flinders researchers identified 15 major issues that has shaped the national comprehensive study. The survey was then rolled-out to 30 thousand Australians across the nation. The data is currently being collated and the report is due to be released in 2025. 

Flinders University is dedicated to a collaborative, community-driven research agenda, working alongside government, industry, and a diverse range of experts to find solutions to these critical challenges.
