Evaluation of the NSW COVID-19 Voucher Programs

This report evaluates the NSW Government’s COVID-19 Stimulus Vouchers (the ‘voucher programs’).

The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented public health crisis which affected all aspects of society and the economy. The federal and state/territory governments reacted quickly with a raft of interventions. The NSW Government’s voucher programs were a novel solution, implemented at scale and pace alongside other response programs. 

The purpose of the evaluation is to:

• assess whether the voucher programs were warranted
• examine the process of implementing the programs
• assess the extent to which the programs achieved their intended outcomes
• understand any unintended consequences
• capture any insights and lessons learned.
