Specialist evaluation for the social sector.

Cradl Consulting works alongside purpose-driven organisations, from community based non-for-profits to government, to strengthen their evidence base. Our goal is to help you as the expert to turn your everyday work into clear, compelling evidence of impact.
The frameworks and resources we offer help you to measure the right outcomes, secure funding, plan evaluations, shape strategy, and more. Whether you're in the design phase or well into implementation, we are here to support you at any stage of your journey.

our services

Cradl Group consultancy started from a
simple idea — the work that changes communities and drives positive social change deserves to be understood, valued, and supported. With 20+ years of experience across program implementation, evaluation, policy and research, we bring a blend of technical expertise and relational practice to every partnership. Our team of experts are here to help making building an evidence base easy.

Australian Institute for Intergenerational Practice (AIIP)

Cradl Consulting is proud to be partnering with the Australian Institute for Intergenerational Practice (AIIP) to support the evaluation of their pilot programs, as well as creating content that brings their impact to life, sharing the evidence and stories behind their everyday work.
Communities for Children Capricorn

Cradl worked with community partners in Capricorn to capture the practices that strengthened collaboration in a place‑informed context, sharing insights to support continued collective work across the region.
Book Buddies

Cradl designed and delivered the Book Buddies evaluation, including development of the evaluation plan and data collection tools, support for data collection, analysis, and reporting. The evaluation demonstrated how the program fostered meaningful intergenerational connections, strengthened relationships across generations, and contributed to a greater sense of belonging and community.
