What we offer

Outcome modelling

Good policy development requires a strong understanding of program impacts. Social context and level of function among people with disability mean this often requires a deep understanding of cohorts involved.

Our modelling and evaluation work tailors analysis to reflect this complexity.

Funding models

The design of a program and its funding structure will drive incentives and behaviours. A good funding model will carefully consider incentives and the risks for over and under-servicing.

Financial forecasting

Forecasting future demand for disability services, and its associated costs, can be challenging. There are complexities such as assessing unmet need, changing disability prevalence and ensuring sustainable funding of programs.

We have deep experience forecasting scheme and program costs across disability and other sectors.
