The first study to comprehensively examine the role played by ACOSS
in the Australian social policy debate; The implications of
Australian welfare state debates and agendas for other advanced
welfare states. The Australian welfare lobby group -- the
Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) -- has played a
central role in the welfare politics debate as the foremost
defender of the Australian welfare state. ACOSS is widely
recognised as one of the most important lobby groups in Australia,
and enjoys regular access to the media and key policy makers in
government and the bureaucracy. Relevant case studies and source
material are used to draw attention to: The role that interest
groups play in the formation of government policy agendas; The
lobbying strategies used by welfare advocacy groups to influence
welfare state outcomes; The relationship between the welfare sector
and other key lobby groups and political parties; The impact of key
contemporary influences such as neo-liberalism and economic
globalisation which have arguably transformed the political context
within which welfare advocacy groups operate.
