Implementation evaluation

The Queensland Government made a series of improvements to the state’s child protection system to help families care for their children. These improvements were recommended by the Queensland Child Protection Commission of Inquiry and were implemented through the Supporting Families Changing Futures Reform Program.

We led two evaluations of the reform program. The first focused on implementation of the reforms over the first three years of the program. The second examined outcomes achieved to 2020. No further evaluations are planned.

Place-based studies

As part of our system evaluation work, we conduct place-based studies in locations across Queensland to hear from local partners about how the system is working in these locations, and to gather evidence of what's working for children, young people and families, and why.
