Amplify Our Sector

This two-year project took a deep dive into DEX data to uncover and celebrate the real outcomes of early intervention and prevention services.

Partnering with For Purpose Evaluations, this award-winning outcomes measurement project featured involvement from 24 diverse services across NSW.

Together, we created a Communicating Outcomes Toolkit to help organisations use DEX data to tell clear, compelling stories of change. The toolkit includes three easy-to-use resources – start with Step 1 and work your way through.

Step 1: Amplify Our Sector – Communicating Outcomes Toolkit

Step 2: Amplify Our Sector – Reporting Worksheet

Step 3: Amplify Our Sector – Reporting Template and Amplify Our Sector – Poster Template

Kate Washington MP, Minister for Families and Communities; Eleanor Booth and Jenna McDonald from For-Purpose Evaluations.

Practice Governance

Practice governance is the way an organisation supports and improves the quality of practice, aiming for better outcomes for people and their communities. Our goal was to design a guide specifically for community-based child and family services that could work for organisations of all sizes.

Twelve early intervention and prevention service providers along with the Parenting Research Centre and ACWA joined forces to create a uniquely designed framework for our sector.

The Guide represents our sector’s genuine commitment to continuous improvement and showcasing the positive impact of our work.
