About the approach 

The Priority Investment Approach was designed to improve our understanding of how Australians use the social security system. It used evidence to help us see where we can act early to support vulnerable people. 

The approach used a model to: 

  • predict future social security use based on historical patterns
  • identify and understand more about vulnerable groups
  • help inform how we can take early action.
