Insight. Impact. Evidence for Change

Bilardi & Co is a specialist social and health research and evaluation consultancy led by Associate Professor Jade Bilardi, bringing more than 20 years’ experience across research, evaluation, co-design and evidence translation.

We work with government, academia, not-for-profits and community organisations to generate the evidence and insights needed to inform decisions, evaluate programs and drive meaningful change.

We specialise in sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing, with particular expertise in pregnancy and early pregnancy loss, women's health and primary care.

Using qualitative and mixed methods, co-design and human-centred approaches, we bring consumers, people with lived experience, health professionals and other stakeholders into the process to ensure research and evaluation lead to practical, meaningful outcomes.
