Aboriginal Affairs, NSW Department of Education, contracted the Social Policy Research Centre to conduct an evaluation of OCHRE, the community-focused plan for Aboriginal affairs in NSW. This involved case studies of eight projects operating as part of OCHRE. The objective of the evaluation was to provide evidence to improve the effectiveness of OCHRE projects and outcomes into the future, and inform the NSW Government about any possible future expansion of OCHRE.

More information on the project is available at OCHRE - A Continuing Conversation.
