Change can be hard. We try our best as individuals to improve our fitness, dietary habits and financial stability, and to do the right thing by others and the planet, but it often falls to government and other institutions to persuade us to change our ways.

 

BehaviourWorks Australia (BWA) is a leading behaviour change research enterprise in Australia, housed in the Monash Sustainable Development Institute at Monash University. Their work spans hundreds of projects with government, industry and community partners in areas such as health, climate change, energy, water, waste, pollution, biodiversity, biosecurity, education, social inclusion, finance and safety. Based on extensive research and experience, the team at BWA developed the highly respected BehaviourWorks Method - a tried and tested approach to influencing behaviour for impactful and meaningful outcomes to build a better world.

 

Featuring real-world case studies involving partnerships with Ambulance Victoria, the Transport Accident Commission, federal and state governments, the Environment Protection Authority and Sustainability Victoria, Inspiring Change is a practical, in-depth guide on how to use the BehaviourWorks Method to foster economic prosperity, better health, social inclusion and environmental sustainability.

Reviews for Inspiring Change: How to Influence Behaviour for a Better World

We’ve worked with BWA using many of the tools outlined in the book to support effective communication and teamwork among clinicians. The positive outcomes of this approach were clear, and the education module will continue to play a crucial role in our clinician training. -- RANZCOG (The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) At Ambulance Victoria, we used several tools outlined in this book to try to encourage people who don’t need ambulances to access alternative sources of care. We’re convinced the reduction in emergency calls resulted from this work. -- Tony Walker, former CEO of Ambulance Victoria We have worked closely with the BehaviourWorks team for over 12 years now. In that time, we have significantly redesigned our strategic models, program design process, and creative approach in collaboration with them to benefit our business and society.  The application of the elements of the BehaviourWorks Method that we’ve incorporated into our approaches has led to profound results for our clients in securing better retirement for all Australians through policy outcomes and behaviour, securing policy change in the support of Foster Care from 18- to 21-year-olds and its flow on social benefits, increased the positive bystander activity in Victoria in the prevention of violence against women, and increased women’s physical activity participation rates to name a few. -- The Shannon Company
