Creating a world-first framework for assessing refugee identities

The Australian Department of Home Affairs asked Paper Giant to conduct ethnographic research in Myanmar so they could better understand the experiences and life stories of refugees.

What we do


Inclusive, rigorous and actionable insights that take the risk out of your big decisions. We find answers to your most important policy, service, product and design questions.

&nbsp

Insight to strategy

We translate our research findings into tangible strategic recommendations. We don’t just tell you what we find, we tell you what it means for you.


Engaging, actionable, long term.

We create compelling records of our research, including data visualisations, videos, interactive reports and websites so that you can communicate it easily, and return to it time and again to guide your decisions.


Solid ethics, diverse groups

Our ethics framework guides our research, and our team has experience conducting research with culturally and linguistically diverse groups in Australia and internationally.


International reach

We have a proven track record conducting both qualitative and quantitative research around the world, and can respond quickly to your needs.


Building capability

We love teaching others to do what we do, and welcome you and your teams to embed with us throughout projects.

Working with Paper Giant has been fantastic. Research can sometimes be daunting and confusing but they made the methods engaging and understandable to the team – uncovering a wealth of insights about small business owners that are used across ANZ in the process.

We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and to the traditional custodians of the lands and waters which we may visit upon in our work. We acknowledge their elders past and present. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
