Wastewood is a timber reuse business in Marrickville, Sydney. A design team explored strategy-led ways to improve services, ease staff workload, and better support local makers and customers. Designed with and for the community, the strategy evolved through real change, earning recognition from SBS and the Powerhouse Museum’s Design Week.

Amid a backdrop of rapid scientific and technological advancements and a complex health landscape, the Department of Health and Aged Care (DoHAC) and Tobias reimagined departmental policy design and development through the Designing Better Policy initiative, creating an adaptive, data-driven, human-centred framework to meet evolving health sector needs at scale.
