ACIL Allen Consulting is Australia's largest independent public policy and economics consultancy. They have deep expertise in program evaluation, with the skills and knowledge required to design and undertake rigorous process, outcome and economic evaluations. They use a variety of approaches, including theory-based methods (using program logic models), qualitative research (such as case studies) and more quantitative studies (cost-benefit analyses or quasi-experimental designs).
The firm regularly evaluates large public interventions, such as national policies and strategies, as well as more targeted interventions occurring in discrete communities or contexts. Staff are also experienced in working closely with Australia's First Peoples, drawing on culturally appropriate research methods.
