Evaluation and advisory

AHA is skilled in assessing the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of programs and initiatives; collecting and analysing data to inform decision-making; and providing practical, evidence-based findings and recommendations.

AHA’s evaluation and advisory workstream produces reports that are clear, concise and actionable. We don’t just acquire data, we interpret it. Our work is meticulously researched and our independent status allows us to deliver a rigorous analysis of the evidence and draw robust conclusions.

We apply these skills in projects across settings ranging from small community-based organisations to state-specific initiatives and large national programs.

Many of our evaluations involve sensitive topics and working with potentially vulnerable people. We’re skilled in the use of culturally appropriate approaches and committed to dealing sensitively and ethically with vulnerable individuals.

Our approach is informed by current evaluation theory and best practice, and is designed to suit the requirements of each project. We favour a mixed-methods approach to allow triangulation of information from quantitative and qualitative sources, while seeking to minimise the impost on stakeholders.
