Evaluation and Review

Evaluation that uncovers insights, strengthens programs, and supports lasting impact

Together, we uncover what’s working, what’s not, and how to strengthen your programs and services for lasting impact.

Whether you're evaluating an existing program, seeking to demonstrate impact, or contributing knowledge about your work, we offer practical, structured approaches that support you to understand what’s working, what’s not, and where to next. Our evaluation and review services help you make informed decisions and strengthen what matters most.

We work with you and your stakeholders. Our approach is grounded in genuine partnership, where your knowledge, experience, and goals shape the process. We believe evaluation delivers the most value when it’s done together, with transparency, inclusion, and care.

Our partners

We work with not-for-profits, Primary Health Networks and government agencies across Australia to evaluate and review their impact. Our team brings deep expertise in evaluation and applied experience across health and social services — including mental health, suicide prevention, housing and homelessness, family and early years, child protection, alcohol and other drugs, community resilience and many more. 

We’ve been trusted to evaluate and review the programs and services of: 

How we support you

Whether you need deep insight over time or fast answers to urgent questions, we offer two complementary approaches to support your work.

Both approaches are tailored to your context and focused on helping you understand what’s working, what’s not, and where to next.

Evaluation is a structured, longer-term approach designed to generate insight, support learning, and inform improvement.

Program reviews are more rapid and practical — ideal when you need timely, targeted answers to inform decision-making.

Evaluation

We work with organisations to design and deliver rigorous, ethically grounded evaluations that generate meaningful insights and support real-world change.

Whether you're evaluating a multi-year, multi-site program or a smaller, local initiative, our approach supports you from planning through to reflection and reporting.

Our evaluations typically use mixed methods, combining data from multiple sources to create well-rounded insights tailored to your context.

Recent Evaluation Projects

Our evaluation support can include:

  • Collaborative development of theories of change, logic models, and monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) frameworks.

  • Analysis and interpretation of quantitative data (activities, service users, outcomes).

  • Gathering and analysing qualitative insights to understand experiences and perceptions

  • Tailored reporting for different audiences — from funders to communities

  • Facilitated learning and reflection activities to help translate insights into action

  • Inclusion of lived experience, cultural expertise, and subject matter knowledge

Review

When you need answers to a well-defined question or insight to guide immediate decisions, our reviews offer a practical, timely option. Reviews are typically quicker than evaluations and focus on helping you explore options, make informed choices, or clarify direction — without compromising quality.

Recent Review Projects

Our review support can include:

  • Rapid desktop analysis and stakeholder consultation

  • Short, focused scopes to answer clear, time-sensitive questions

  • Synthesis-based reporting that clearly outlines options and implications

  • Use of proven frameworks and models to guide prioritisation and planning
