The Centre for Cultural Relations (CCR) is Australia’s leading independent institute dedicated to cultural relations, social cohesion, and interfaith dialogue.
We bridge the critical gap between multifaith community reality and government policy through rigorous research, independent auditing, and strategic dialogue.
Moving beyond engagement to deliver accountability and strategy.
Operating at the intersection of grassroots sentiment and high-level public policy, CCR provides a trusted, non-partisan platform for critical debate on Australia's most complex cultural challenges. Through facilitating conversations, we produce evidence-based research, monitor community engagement, and translate cross-cultural concerns into actionable policy solutions.
