About us

We are team of qualitative and quantitative researchers, data analysts, economists, strategists and sector specialists.  Our focus is on helping our clients use research to create meaningful change within the for-purpose sector. Over 90% of our clients are in the not for profit space, and include professional associations, industry bodies and charitable and community organisations. 

With over ten years’ experience, we have built our reputation on consistently delivering on the objectives of our clients.  Our solid track record and unique mix of research expertise, strategic thinking and a deep knowledge of associations and for purpose organisations means we are uniquely placed to deliver insights that improve effectiveness, drive engagement and add to sector knowledge.

As authors of the Associations Matter Research Series, we have built a significant knowledge base of the Australasian association sector and have access to a wealth of data that can be used to compare your association's performance to others in the sector.

Survey Matters is managed by Co-Founders Brenda Mainland and Rebecca Sullivan and supported by a team of research experts and support personnel.
