Part of University of Western Sydney, Whitlam Institute is a public policy institute established in 2000 through an agreement between Western Sydney University and former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. The company is based in Rydalmere, Australia. The institute serves as a national center and independent think tank dedicated to public engagement, debate, and policy development in areas such as equality, democracy, education as a public good, human rights, and Australia’s role. It houses the Whitlam Prime Ministerial Collection, featuring over 35,000 objects including significant historical items, and operates the Margaret Whitlam Galleries, a public space for exhibitions on Australia’s social, cultural, and democratic history. The institute offers programs including research fellowships, essay residencies, writing competitions for students, and community events that promote civic education, youth engagement, and critical discussion of social and political issues. Research supported by the institute addresses contemporary challenges through the lens of Whitlam’s policies, such as prison privatisation, climate justice, digital equity, and human rights. The institute facilitates community involvement through volunteering, donations, and educational resources aligned with the Australian curriculum, and acknowledges the Burramattagal people of the Darug nation as traditional custodians of the land.
