On 9 November 2022, SIMNA presented a hybrid in-person and online panel discussion with the Australian Government Department of Social Services and recipients of their Outcome Measurement Initiative grants. The panel featured Heather Thompson and Liz Bloom from Global Sisters, Mark Gates and Harry Sillett from Vanguard Laundry and Judi Drown from the Department of Social Services in a facilitated discussion regarding their approach to OIM and what they have learnt through this journey.

The Australian government Department of Social Services has recently published the two Outcome and Impact Measurement Case Studies from this initiative:
