Evaluation 2022/23 – 2025/26

A national evaluation of the TIS program will take place. The evaluation of the TIS program for the next phase of the program will be split into a two-part process. The Cultural and Indigenous Research Centre Australia (CIRCA) will conduct part A of the TIS evaluation (implementation and process evaluation). The Australian National University (ANU) will conduct part B (impact evaluation).

The Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the TIS program 2022/23 – 2025/26 is in development. This document will provide a framework for part A of the evaluation of the TIS program.

Evaluation 2018/19 – 2021/22

The implementation and process evaluation of the TIS program from 2018/19-2021/22 was conducted by CIRCA, and a summary of key findings was released in September 2022. The evaluation looked at:

• program appropriateness, evidence base and national supports;
• whether it’s on target to achieve its short and medium term goals;
• program enablers and barriers.

The report shows that the program is implementing evidence-based approaches to promote population health as intended, and is achieving successful outcomes.
