Policy Forum Pod

It’s the glue that holds society together, but existing economic and policy systems find care so hard to place a value on. On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, social security researcher Elise Klein and community advocate Millie Rooney join us to discuss valuing care in public policy.How does Australian policy value different forms of care compared to what’s been considered to be ‘productive’ work? What would happen if the country made caring a central tenet of its policy-making rather than a secondary consideration? On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, Dr Elise Klein, Senior Lecturer at ANU Crawford School of Public Policy, and Dr Millie Rooney, National Coordinator at Australia reMADE, join hosts Professor Sharon Bessell and Dr Arnagretta Hunter to discuss how and why Australian policymakers should place greater value on care.Elise Klein OAM is a Senior Lecturer of Public Policy at Crawford School of Public Policy whose research interests include Indigenous policy, development interventions, women
