Learn more about the evaluation

An evaluation means looking at what went well and what could be done better. You can learn more about evaluation in the Toolkit for engaging people with disability in evaluation.

This page explains what we are doing and how you can share your thoughts with us.

Who is doing the evaluation?

We are ARTD Consultants. For this evaluation, we are working with a team of people with disability to make the evaluation accessible and inclusive.

Our other partners for this project are Taylor Fry, the Social Research Centre, Keogh Bay, Ethnolink, Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO) and Amaze. Working with these partners, we will make sure we:

• make the best use of available data
• connect with community
• engage First Nations and culturally and linguistically diverse communities
• deliver a good national survey.

How did we plan the evaluation?

ARTD worked with a team of people with disability to plan the evaluation.

We worked together to think about how people can participate and the questions we will ask people so we can answer the evaluation questions.

Government Working Groups and a Steering Committee of people with disability also checked our plan.

We followed the Toolkit for engaging people with disability in evaluation. This includes the Disability inclusive checklist for evaluators.

Who is overseeing the evaluation?

• an Australian Government Working Group
