Stronger Families and Communities Strategy National Evaluation
The evaluation phase of the Stronger Families and Communities Strategy (SFCS) has now ended. The Communities and Families Clearinghouse (CAFCA) will continue to disseminate the outcomes of the evaluation and provide support to deliver evidence-based programs and services.
The Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) was a partner in the Social Policy Research Centre/University of New South Wales consortium contracted to evaluate the Strategy. Further information about the National Evaluation of the Strategy is available at the CAFCA National Evaluation publications page.
