We design and deliver evaluations that help organisations understand their impact. Whether you need a program evaluation, an evaluation framework, or ongoing monitoring and learning support, we tailor our approach to your context and questions.
Based in Melbourne and Tasmania, we work with government, not-for-profit and community organisations across Australia — from local councils through to federal departments. We've delivered hundreds of evaluations across health, environment, social justice, education and community services.
Planning an evaluation? Let's talk
As one of Australia's leading evaluation consulting firms, we bring a practical, fit-for-purpose approach to every engagement. Our evaluation work spans program evaluations, service evaluations, and policy evaluations across government, not-for-profit and community settings. We use mixed methods tailored to each project — combining quantitative analysis with qualitative depth to give you evidence you can trust and act on.
Our team works from Melbourne and Hobart, delivering evaluation projects across every state and territory. Whether you're a Victorian state department, an ACT directorate, a Queensland local government, or a national NGO, we bring the same rigour and responsiveness to every project.
We offer a range of evaluation services to match where you are in your program's lifecycle. Explore each area to learn more about how we can help.
Process, outcome and program evaluations for programs, projects, policies and strategies of all sizes — from small pilots to large-scale, multi-year initiatives across government and community sectors.

Learn moreReal-time evaluation for innovative and emerging programs operating in complex environments. We combine developmental evaluation with systems thinking to help you learn and adapt as you go.
Learn moreTraining, workshops and ongoing support to build evaluation skills within your team — so you can plan, collect data and use evaluation findings with greater confidence.
Learn moreEvaluation approaches designed for complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives — using systems thinking, social network analysis and place-based methods to understand how change happens across a system.
Learn moreMeasuring the long-term difference your program makes. We design and deliver impact evaluations that go beyond outputs to assess lasting change in communities, environments and systems.
Learn moreWe believe evaluation should be practical, participatory, and useful. Our work is grounded in real-world constraints: budgets, timelines, and the messy complexity of how programs actually operate.
We don't just deliver reports. We work alongside you to build understanding, involve stakeholders meaningfully, and create insights you can actually use.

A comprehensive final evaluation of Victoria's multi-faceted response to the 2019–20 bushfires, documenting achievements across seven program themes and identifying lessons to inform future emergency biodiversity recovery efforts. We engaged 26 stakeholders including government partners and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation.
Each service area features project examples, case studies and more detail on how we work.
Whether you're scoping a new evaluation, mid-way through a program, or looking to build internal evaluation capability, we'd love to hear from you.

Movember
Movember has been funding multiple social connection challenge grant programs since 2017. The Social Innovators Challenge (SIC) reflects this continued priority for the organisation, funding initiatives seeking to test novel delivery models to improve social connectedness, mental wellbeing and life satisfaction for men.
We led the global evaluation through piloting and scaling phases, tracking outcomes across 12 funded projects in Australia, Canada, and the UK. Throughout the evaluation, we worked closely with the five funded projects to gather a mixture of quantitative and qualitative data to understand the extent to which they work. We found that all five projects work well in improving social connectedness and mental wellbeing, with clear links back to the knowledge gaps this program sought to address.
Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA)
The Bushfire Biodiversity Response and Recovery Program (BBRR Program) was formed in response to the 2019–20 Victorian bushfires, with the aim to assist the recovery of species and ecological communities most at-risk from the impacts of the fires.
We undertook a final evaluation of this multifaceted program to document its achievements and identify lessons to inform the design and delivery of future emergency response and recovery programs for biodiversity. While the evaluation considered outcomes from each of 7 themes that made up the program, the main focus was on exploring and documenting the Program's overall implementation, achievements, and lessons at a broader program level.
We engaged 26 stakeholders across the program, including Theme and project coordinators, steering committee members, partner organisations (both government and private sector) and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC).
