Big Issues survey

Each year, CEDA surveys members and the policy community to identify the main challenges facing Australian business and governments.

The results play an important role in developing CEDA's research and policy agenda and options for government.

The Big Issues survey aims to capture a snapshot of the business community’s views on the critical policy choices ahead.

In addition to benchmarking questions on policy priorities such as international competitiveness and tax reform, this year the survey also focuses on the service sector, disruption and welfare.
