Hunter Valley Research Foundation

Established in 1956, the Hunter Valley Research Foundation's mission is to be: "the Centre of Excellence in community and regional research - helping people make better decisions". The HVRF is Australia's longest serving not-for-profit, regional research organisation. Its progressive, independent research provides a rich information resource to the Hunter Region that is unique in regional Australia.

Our work is primarily on two fronts:

-  A long standing regional research program which includes investment, economic indicators, social wellbeing, demographic analysis, monitoring of local issues, technology and weather. Our research analysis is disseminated to business, government representatives and the community through publications, functions, presentations, a free enquiries service and public library, the media and our web site. 

- Our well-respected and sought after research consultancy services, including surveys, economic analysis, health data collection, facilitation and multi-client surveys. Our emphasis is on conducting high quality, independent research to meet individual client needs.
