Forecasting Future Outcomes – Stronger Communities Investment Unit 2018 Insights Report

View the Forecasting Future Outcomes – Stronger Communities Investment Unit 2018 Insights Report

This report, which was authored by Taylor Fry with support from Their Futures Matter (TFM) and stakeholder agencies, presents key results and insights from the TFM Investment Model using the Human Services Dataset. The report defines six vulnerable population groups estimated to have the poorest future social and fiscal outcomes. Each vulnerable group is analysed alongside a comparison group without vulnerability, to highlight the likelihood of poorer outcomes and the difference in estimated cost of providing government services.

This Investment model visualisation tool is a companion to the Forecasting Future Outcomes: 2018 Insights Report.

The visualisation tool features a dashboard that provides a summary view of the vulnerable groups identified in the Report.

Privacy surveys

NSW Community Attitudes Survey on Privacy and Data Sharing 

In 2020, Family and Community Services Insights, Analysis and Research (FACSIAR) commissioned a NSW Community Attitudes Survey on Data Sharing and Privacy Risks, as part of our work in developing the Privacy Codes.


The objectives of the research were to enable us to:

  • understand community attitudes about de-identified data sharing
  • establish the acceptable scope of data sharing and release
  • establish community understanding of the risks associated with data sharing
  • identify safeguards for protecting individual privacy.
