Abstract
This paper seeks to compare and contrast the character of social policy in Australia with that in other OECD countries by focusing on the distinctive design features of the institutions constituting the wider context of Australian social policy provision. The three substantive sections of the paper successively summarize the distinguishing features of the institutional design of Welfare State provision in continental western Europe, Scandinavia and Australia; outline the wider institutional context of social policy in Australia; and examine the extent to which the distinctiveness of the institutional design of the Australian Welfare State has led to different patterns of policy outcomes from those in other nations.
