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. Sections of the Report describing each vulnerable group outline the characteristics and risk indicators which make up the group definition. 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.

View the Investment model visualisation tool
This visualisation tool is a companion to the Forecasting Future Outcomes: 2018 Insights Report . It should only be used after reading Sections 1 to 5 and Section 10 of that report. Those sections describe the approach and define key terms used in the dashboard.
The dashboard presents results for five vulnerable groups presented in the report. However, in line with the report, two of the vulnerable groups have been separated into subgroups for the Fiscal Outcomes and Future Outcomes tabs.
On these tabs, the 'Young mothers and their children' group has been separated into a 'Young mothers' group and a 'Children of young mothers' group. Also, the 'Children and young people affected by mental health' group has been separated into a 'Young adolescents with parental mental health risk factors' group and a 'Vulnerable young people transitioning to adulthood affected by mental health' group.

The Human Services Data Set provides a unique window into the range of human services that children, young people, and their families, engage with throughout their childhood and early adult lives.

The Public Interest Direction and Health Public Interest Direction require annual audits to assess whether there are sufficient security systems and processes in place to protect Personal and Health Information that is collected, used and disclosed as part of the Project.
