Your Research Partner for Evidence-Based Impact

Good research should not be out of reach. We work alongside organisations of every size to answer the questions that matter to them.

MATAYA Project · Health · Community · Research

In health and wellbeing organisations, the challenge lies in understanding complex problems, evaluating what works, building credible evidence, and translating findings into action. This is where the Mataya Project excels. We bridge the gap between academic rigour and real-world practice, offering you research expertise on demand, tailored to your needs and budget.

Areas of expertise:

  • Primary Research and Data Collection

  • Evidence Synthesis and Literature Review

  • Program Evaluation and Impact Assessment

  • Strategic Planning and Evidence-Informed Decision-Making

  • Writing and Knowledge Translation

What we do

Wherever your question is at - from a quick look at the evidence to a full study, we scope the right approach to your needs, timeline and budget.

Gather the evidence you don't have

When the answers aren't sitting in existing data, we generate them - surveys, interviews and focus groups, designed, run and analysed for you.

Primary Research & Data Collection
Evidence Synthesis & Literature Review
Program Evaluation & Impact Assessment
Find out what is already known
Know whether it is working

Most decisions don't need new research, they need someone to make sense of what already exists. From a quick evidence brief to a full systematic review

Independent evaluation that shows whether your program is delivering and where it could work better - credible for funders, practical for your team to use.

Strategic Planning & Evidence-Informed Decision-Making
Make decisions you can stand behind

We bring evidence and structure to your direction-setting with stakeholder consultation, environmental scans & a clear plan you can act on and share.

Writing & Knowledge Translation
Turn findings into action
Bring us in for the parts that need a specialist
Ethics, Data & Research Support

Research only creates impact when people can use it. We translate complex findings into clear briefs, summaries and reports, pitched to those who need to act on them.

Already running your own research? We handle the tricky parts including preparing ethics applications and turning your data into clear, usable findings.
