This is a very comprehensive and well thought through MEL system, strongly based on current theory.
The use of MEL is very appropriate for this organisation, which is spread across Australia in the very complex domain of homelessness. MEL is well integrated into Mission Australia's strategy and practice. It ticks all the boxes of a sustainable system which provides clear guidance but isn’t overly prescriptive.
The MEL system is designed to work nationally but at the same time remain the organisation’s desire to focus on outcomes for the individual.
About the Evaluation System Award
This Award recognises the development of an exemplary integrated evaluation system and/or implementation of the evaluation system.
The work should be designed to be sustainable; and be undertaken in partnership with clients or users.
Nominees who have only developed an evaluation system will be considered for this Award. Nominees who can demonstrate excellent development and implementation will be assessed more highly than those who have only developed a system.
