The James Martin Institute for Public Policy (JMI) is an independent public policy institute.[1] based in Sydney, Australia. It was established in 2021 as a government and university joint venture[2] between the New South Wales Government[3] and three Australian universities: the University of Sydney[4], University of Technology Sydney[5], and Western Sydney University[6]. The University of New South Wales[7], Charles Sturt University[8][9] and the University of Wollongong[10][11] have since joined the partnership.

The Institute aims to promote evidence-based policy in Australia[12]. JMI was included in an analysis of evidence institutes around the world undertaken by the Paul Ramsay Foundation[13], and its research has been referenced in Parliamentary reports[14] and testimony in government enquiries[15]. It has also been referenced as a possible alternative to government contracting for external consultants[16]

Its recent projects include child protection and out-of-home care reforms[17][18], Australian Government reforms for funding university teaching and scholarship[19], support for the New South Wales Anti-Slavery Commissioner on the office’s Strategic Plan[20][21] and the regulation and governance of artificial intelligence[22]. The Institute offers an annual round of grants to university research teams[23]. Recent successful projects have explored facial recognition technology[24][25], Indigenous-led climate solutions[26], and electric vehicle uptake[27]. It also offers fellowship opportunities for projects focused on housing[28][29], increasing productivity in manufacturing[30], and other government policy priorities.

JMI hosts public conferences including the annual Oration, last delivered by former Premier Dominic Perrottet[31][32].

The Institute was named after Sir James Martin, former Premier of New South Wales. The Chair of the Board is Professor Peter Shergold AC and it is led by Libby Hackett,[33] former CEO of UK's University Alliance.
