The Australian Journal Of Social Issues is published by the Australian Social Policy Association to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for debate on significant and controversial social policy issues that are of relevance to Australia. It deals with questions of social justice as most broadly defined. Articles discuss particular social issues, review conceptual problems, present empirical studies and debate policy alternatives. The journal is editorially independent of the Association and the universities to which editors and contributors are affiliated.

The Editors of the Journal are Dr Katherine Curchin and Associate Professor Ben Edwards, Centre for Social Research and Methods, The Australian National University.
