Dear Mr Diamond,

Thank you for your correspondence of 5 January 2017 regarding how you can
access Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS) policy
evaluation reports produced since 1 January 2014.

You can find evaluation reports at [1]www.dss.gov.au by conducting a
search for “evaluation”. There are a range of evaluation reports
available, each located on the relevant policy subject area website page.
Two recent examples are the National Disability Insurance Scheme Initial
and Intermediate Evaluation Reports. These are available at:

We appreciate your interest in how the effectiveness of government policy
interventions is evaluated in Australia and New Zealand.

Kind regards,
