Social science

We work with clients and partners to collate population-level demographic and social data with local insights and qualitative narratives to build a comprehensive understanding of the social and cultural contexts in which we design and deliver policy and project work, ensuring our work recognises the needs, values and aspirations of local communities and other stakeholders.

We work across diverse sectors to identify and assess the social impacts and outcomes of environmental and natural resource initiatives. This includes identifying rigorous and appropriate ways to assess changes in social outcomes such as health, wellbeing, equity, community cohesion and resilience, socio-economic status, employability and education. We measure stakeholder perceptions, sentiment and behaviour, and have considerable expertise in representative engagement, data collection and design using surveys, interviews and focus groups, and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data.

We work with decision-makers in government and other organisations to dissolve linear and siloed approaches to problem-solving and, instead, move towards a systems-thinking approach with integrated governance at its core.
