Testimonials

The SDG guides are an asset for corporate Australia, and Think Impact can be proud that they have developed resources that businesses can use to improve not only sustainable business practices, but society as a whole.

Corinne Schoch, Senior Advisor | GLOBAL COMPACT NETWORK AUSTRALIA

Not only did they deliver a high-quality report, they provided me with important professional development on theory of change, outcomes and indicator selection. I would highly recommend working with Think Impact if you are interested to understand what you do, why you do it, and most importantly to measure and describe the impact of your work.

Ariel Valent, Portfolio Lead, Social Impact and Investment | City of Melbourne

The team at Think Impact have been fantastic to work with. They came to us enthusiastically and with open minds to our project and the requirements of our work. They are a well organised and reliable group with an evident passion for social value and leaving positive legacies in our communities.

Ailish Ryan, Sustainability Advisor | Cross Yarra Partnership

My thanks for a great presentation last evening, we are so impressed by the rigour of your work and your high level of professionalism. The report is immensely valuable and will be a critical tool for us as we embark on our growth journey. Thank you for all you have done to support us to realise the potential of our Skyline students.

Jane Sydenham-Clarke, Chief Executive Officer | Skyline Education Foundation Australia

For two years, their professionalism, insight and support was nothing short of exceptional. They were always able to draw the relevant information out of our heads, reinterpret, and produce a body of work with clear direction & tangible actions. They had an innate ability to encapsulate our views & values and truly took the time to listen and really 'got us.' Highly recommend for any NFP/social enterprise looking to engage a first-class consulting service.

Nick Pearce, CEO | HoMIe

Working with Think Impact has been fantastic. Your team have made this process refined and seamless. We will promote the great work you have done with us among other community organisations to make them aware of what a great resource Think Impact is.

| Youth Activating Youth

The evaluation gave us a vivid and thorough understanding of the impact of Lead On Again for young refugee and migrant women participants. To hear them speak of the real changes in their lives, over time, in confidence, employment and leadership participation, and knowledge of important health topics, was powerful. Think Impact worked sensitively and creatively to run a genuinely participatory online workshop. They developed a report that will inform our future work in so many ways.

Seniors Rights Victoria

Action research on Elder Abuse Prevention Networks

Seniors Rights Victoria
Melbourne | 2019

We undertook research during 2017 and 2018 to inform the operation of five Elder Abuse Prevention Networks established across Victoria. We conducted action research with the community, health and justice organisations, as well as their communities, forming the networks to understand more about the drivers of elder abuse, how it can be prevented (primary prevention) and the role of place-based networks in prevention.
