Insight for action
and change

Welcome to Dovetail.

We provide evaluation, research and facilitation services to support positive change in communities and systems.

We work with people and organisations to evaluate, understand, and improve the differences they are making.

Our insights enable learning, development, improvement and evidence-based decision making. Our work bridges the worlds of funders, service providers, professionals and community interest groups.

  • We assist funders to understand the impact of their investments.

  • We assist service providers to enable change and improvement.

  • We assist community organisations to capture and convey the impact of their work.

Dovetail’s expertise includes the health, social, transport, creative, philanthropic, local government, education, and sport and recreation sectors. We work with public, private and community sector organisations.
