Project tender detail
Carers NSW is seeking quotes for conducting a review of the Carer Knowledge Exchange (CKE), a research translation initiative funded by the NSW Department for Communities and Justice and delivered by Carers NSW from 2021 to current (2025/26).
The Carer Knowledge Exchange is a research translation project led by Carers NSW and funded by the NSW Government that aims to improve outcomes for family and friend carers across Australia by connecting research to practice. Project activities include regular webinars and events, the publication of a monthly newsletter, the dissemination of calls for research participation, networking activities and a digital platform, which hosts a research library and repository for event recordings.
The evaluation questions are as follows:
1. Did the Carer Knowledge Exchange achieve its intended aims and objectives as specified in the implementation plan?
2. Were project resources used effectively?
3. What was the impact of the Carer Knowledge Exchange, and the value generated in terms of:
• Knowledge dissemination, reach, and uptake among stakeholders (e.g., carers, researchers, policymakers, service providers)
• The capacity built among stakeholders to work with carers
• Policy and practice change influenced by Carer Knowledge Exchange activities
• Possible other effects and unintended consequences
4. Recommendations for DCJ and Carers NSW on how CKE can be sustained into the future. If transitioned to business-as-usual activities of Carers NSW peak research function, what activities can feasibly be maintained with current peak funding?
Please see the attached RFQ for details.
