How we assess impact
We form genuine partnerships to help you enhance outcomes for families. It’s more than a transaction for us – it’s about generating meaningful findings and building organisational capacity to drive successful change.
Funders seek to invest their limited resources wisely.
That’s why it’s increasingly important to understand what works and what doesn’t for your organisation.
Our experienced team works with government departments and community organisations to evaluate the effectiveness of policies, programs and services and their implementation. Our work spans evaluations of small-scale, single-agency interventions to large national projects involving multiple partners and locations.
Our real-world experience gives us a distinct advantage in conducting evaluations, ensuring our results are more than just an academic exercise.

A specialised team at your disposal
Our evaluation team has extensive knowledge of the service system, including within parenting and family services and child welfare. Deep skills in evaluating evidence-informed programs and practices are complemented by comprehensive clinical experience and practice skills.
We don’t just evaluate – we understand what we’re assessing and provide realistic and meaningful recommendations as a result. We take an ‘implementation informed’ approach to our work, ensuring that any analysis or data collected by us helps you enhance your work.
Our commitment ensures you are empowered to capture and manage quality improvement data long after we’ve ‘left the building’.
Faster improvements
Our rapid cycle methodology allows for an iterative “learn and improve” approach to evaluation, meaning you get value for your investment sooner. We work with you to identify a problem, hypothesise a solution, test small changes and see if they improve practice, all within weeks.
Building your capacity
We can work with you to build staff capacity to choose measures and tools that are meaningful to your organisation, to collect and understand data and create program logics that your pathways toward impact clear to everyone.
