'Through this experience, we have learnt a lot of new skills and we have a fantastic evaluation report that we can present to potential funding bodies and government to help us to expand the program... The SESU is a wonderful asset for community services and the team help to bridge the gap between academics/research and community work.'

'I most definitely recommend SESU to other organisations. To have such an amazing team help guide that process, it enriches everything from the beginning to the end and it helps to ultimately get you to the outcomes that you're looking for.'

'Throughout the partnership we felt valued and heard. The mutual respect shown encouraged engagement from our team and an energy and commitment to ensure success of the project. When the project commenced, we knew that we wanted to measure the effectiveness of the program and deepen the learning from the pilots, but we were unsure of how to achieve this. The ACU team deeply listened to the work done to date and were able to guide us on the best way to research the program outcomes. The experience of collaboration was positive and rewarding.'
