About Statekraft
Just who is behind Statekraft?
Statekraft is an Australian company building real-time tracking of public policy, legislation and regulation. We decode the legislative black box so government, industry and the public can move from reactive information gathering to strategic thinking.
Why we built it
Democratising democracy
Transparency and accountability are the foundations of a healthy democracy. Policy and regulatory intelligence is now your advantage.
Keeping track of what governments do is slow, scattered and expensive — and the people it affects most are the least equipped to follow it. Policy consultations open and close, bills change at the last minute, inquiries report, and unless it is your full-time job, it passes you by.
We built Statekraft so that following Australian policy, legislation and regulation is no longer a muddled mess, just to collect what you need to start doing your actual job. Real-time, apolitical and neutral, the platform puts trusted policy intelligence in the hands of everyone — from the parliamentarian to member of the public, from the large corporate enterprise to small not-for-profit.
