Research and evaluation

As a learning organisation, Emerging Minds has a focus on continuous improvement and translating evidence into practice, policy and systems.

We weave evaluative thinking, data and review into all stages of resource development and implementation, supporting internal capacity building and continuous improvement of our program. We also share this expertise through working with organisations seeking consulting services in evaluation design, program logic modelling and service model design.

Our research and evaluation tells the story of the National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health (henceforth the National Workforce Centre) and builds evidence of the drivers and responses to child mental health in Australia. We seek to share our learnings on the impact of the National Workforce Centre, and how we understand the needs of the Australian child mental health workforce and the families they support. We also aim to connect with researchers and influencers in exploring methods and approaches that can be used to investigate and build capacity in these areas.

    In addition to incorporating the voices of families, communities and practitioners in our resources, we work closely with organisations to support implementation, systems change and the use of data in decision-making. We can also partner with organisations on service model design and evaluation.
