Insightful evaluation and reviews: Rigorous and relevant

MHC’s special blend of academic credentials and public sector experience means we bring rigour and policy relevance to evaluation design and execution. We deliver best practice evaluation by complying with government and scientific standards, using the MHC project management method and through our links with research experts and membership of the Australian Evaluation Society. All our evaluations deliver results grounded in the ‘real world’ and are useful for our clients to improve their policies and programs.
