Newpin Final Evaluation Report

This is the Final Evaluation Report of a seven-year evaluation of Newpin, an intensive family restoration program operated by Uniting. The evaluation was commissioned by NSW Treasury in 2013 when Newpin became the first program in Australia to be funded under a Social Benefit Bond (SBB) arrangement1. It is rare for a program evaluation to be funded over such a long time period, and as such it presents a unique opportunity to test the sustainability of the program and its results over time, document learnings and insights which will add to the evidence base on restoration interventions, and determine how a complex program can be successfully replicated and expanded to new locations.
