TextPublication details: Commonwealth of Australia, 2010.Description: 20 pagesSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: There is an increasing emphasis from Australian and international governments on the importance of evidence based decision making in guiding policy processes (Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD), 2005). The use of statistical information is vital for making evidence based decisions that guide the implementation of new policy, monitor existing policy, and evaluate the effectiveness of policy decisions. It is therefore essential that policy makers are equipped with the skills and ability to understand, interpret and draw appropriate conclusions from statistical information.
This guide provides an overview of how statistical information can be used to make well informed policy decisions. Throughout the guide references are made to other resources, relevant training courses and
associated frameworks that provide more detail.
