This clearinghouse contains NIAA evaluations and evaluation-related reports published since 2017-18. Most of these reports were referenced in a previous or the current IAS Evaluation Work Plan.
The publication of reports from evaluations and evaluation-related activities aligns with the principles of the IAS Evaluation Framework, which aims to ensure NIAA evaluation is high quality, ethical, inclusive and focused on improving outcomes for Indigenous Australians.
A new Australian Government evaluation repository is also being established to house a wider range of reports from evaluations undertaken by Australian Government agencies. It is expected that over time many of the reports listed here will also be available in that repository.
