The Sydney Institute is a privately funded[1]Australian policy forum founded in 1989.[2] The institute took over the resources of the Sydney Institute of Public Affairs which ceased activity in the late 1980s.[3]
Gerard and Anne Henderson had previously run the South Australian branch of the Institute of Public Affairs, and run foul of the state Minister for Health who banned cigarette advertising. He branded South Australia as the "nanny state".[6]
The couple then shifted to Sydney where they set up the IPA's New South Wales branch. [7][8]
However the Centre for International Studies had shared publishing resources and a territorial agreement with the Melbourne-based Institute of Public Affairs not to infringe on each other's sources of corporate donations, so the Hendersons created their own institute, and Philip Morris was happy to contribute to both. All these organisations are part of the Atlas Network. [9][10]
The institute holds weekly forums and an annual dinner at which a lecture is given by a person who has been deemed to have made an important contribution in a particular field at either an international or national level. From time to time the institute organises and hosts international conferences; addresses to the institute are published in The Sydney Papers. The institute also publishes The Sydney Institute Quarterly.[citation needed]
The institute has cited the following key figures in the organization:[11]

Joe Gersh AM - Board Member
