Health Justice Australia welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Draft Evaluation Plan by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department (AGD) in its evaluation plan for health justice partnerships (HJPs) as part of the specialist domestic violence units funded under the Women’s Safety Package.
As the national centre of excellence for health justice partnerships, Health Justice Australia builds collaborative relationships with researchers and HJPs around the country to improve capability for rigorous, useful evaluation. As such, we value the opportunity to provide input on the Evaluation Plan and to receive the final report. The opportunity for feedback is particularly important given this is the Commonwealth’s first experience in funding HJPs, and that evaluation of these partnerships is still in its early stages of development nationally.
