The activities of the Centre are organised within a number of broad programs:

• Human Rights
  
• Federalism and Multi-Level Governance
  
• Administration Law and Accountability
  
• Citizenship and Migration
  

The Centre for Comparative Constitutional Studies fosters and participates in numerous networks with other centres, institutes, provides the secretariat for a national association and hosts the archives of the Australian Constitutional Commission.The Centre makes its knowledge and expertise available as a public resource in a number of ways:

• Providing interviews and information to the media
  
• Responding to official or public requests for information
  
• Speaking to a range of groups and organisations
  

Individual members of the Centre are also actively involved with other organisations and make a further contribution in this way. The Centre frequently provides information and analysis of aspects of the Australian constitutional system for projects and research conducted by overseas organisations and welcomes inquiries (cccs@law.unimelb.edu.au).

From 1992 to 2001, the Centre also acted as a Consultant for the Constitutional Centenary Foundation (1991-2001). The Centre now houses the Constitutional Centenary Foundation's archives, including the vast amount of information generated to encourage informed public debate on the Australian system of government in the approach to the constitutional centenary.
