Our first experience with social impact bonds was through Sandy Blackburn-Wright being part of the team to design the Benevolent Society bond in NSW in 2012. Since then, we have designed a number of social impact bonds for potential providers including the following:

• a bond to reduce reoffending rates amongst women in Queensland
• a bond to reduce homelessness in young people exiting care in Victoria
• a bond to reduce the number of hospital transfers of residents of aged care facilities

We are currently designing a development impact bond to improve outcomes for subsistence farmers in Papua New Guinea, in partnership with DFAT.

We have just launched the latest social benefit bond in Queensland with our clients Churches of Christ in Queensland, focusing on increasing the resilience of young people exiting statutory care to reduce their risk of homelessness.
