Australia & policy careers | Chelsea Liang, Krystal Ha | EAGxAustralia 2023

EAG Talks

Chelsea and Krystal give a talk on pursuing EA-aligned policy careers in Australia. They go through what's important to consider in your fit for policy work, what EA-aligned policy work looks like day-to-day and across different types of organisations, the current landscape of EA policy organisations, and different routes to impact. Chelsea Liang is a Health Security Policy Researcher at Good Ancestors Policy, a charity that seeks to engage all levels of government and civil society on the biggest challenges of the century. There she has created a bespoke and concrete set of pandemic preparedness policy papers tailored to meet the current Australian legal, bureaucratic, and scientific infrastructure. This work was supported by an Open Philanthropy grant. Krystal is a Co-Founder of Policy Foundry, a policy development unit that provides high-quality policy proposals for advocates on the most important 21st century global challenges. Previously, she worked at the Grattan Institute, economic consultancy HoustonKemp and the Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance. She is currently an economics honours student at Monash University. MC: Lucas Lewit-Mendes
