Social Impact Consulting

People-centred. Evidence-driven. Impact-focused.

BOOK A CALL

The Centre for Impact & Change provides social impact consulting to Australia’s health and social sector.

We work with you to measure what matters, generate credible evidence, and make confident decisions that strengthen your services and demonstrate meaningful social impact.

We know how committed you are to delivering effective, high-quality outcomes for your communities. And because we come from the sectors we support, we also understand the complexity, pressures and uncertainty you navigate every day.

You’ll work with an interdisciplinary team of sector experts, evaluators, researchers, service designers, and facilitators who bring both professional and lived experience. By combining evidence, data, and co-design, we help you navigate complex challenges, demonstrate your impact, and drive systemic change.

Our Services

Strategy & Co-Design

We facilitate strategic planning and co-design workshops that bring people together to build alignment, deepen insight and shape practical, impact-driven solutions.

Impact Measurement

We build simple, robust frameworks and tools that help you measure what matters and clearly communicate your social impact.

Evaluation

We deliver rigorous mixed-methods evaluations that turn data into insight and insight into action. We specialise in developmental evaluation and continuous improvement.

Capability Building

We strengthen your organisational capability through tailored coaching, training, and communities of practice, embedding skills that sustain long-term change.

We believe that when people, evidence, and impact measurement sit at the centre of decision-making, organisations are better equipped to design better services, evaluate what works, and create real social change.
