Wellbeing Baselines
Wellbeing baselines provide a data driven approach to understand the needs of the people you impact.
For a targeted investment approach and to inform policy and program design for maximum impact.
Identifying priority needs with scientific, cultural and ethical integrity.
Statistical Subjective Wellbeing Evaluation
Huber Social, has developed a universally applicable wellbeing measurement standard that recognises overall wellbeing in terms of subjective wellbeing, employing statistical analysis to identify driving capability and opportunity factors and their relative value to contribute to overall wellbeing.
Subjective wellbeing evaluation, along with practicing cultural safety, helps to ensure that priority needs are based on how the impacted people themselves are experiencing their lives, as opposed to external decision makers assuming or imposing cultural norms.

“Huber Social’s framework resonated with me and working with them has reinforced the usefulness of their approach in delivering actionable insights.
The highlight has been the engagement of the community in the impact measurement process. The measurement findings will be used to inform our long-term strategy, and we will also share the results with the wider community to maximise the impact the measurement project will have. Through collaboration we will continue to obtain value from the very informative report."
Case Study: atWork Australia Job Seeker Wellbeing Index
Huber Social was engaged by atWork Australia, to develop the atWork Australia Job Seeker Wellbeing Index to understand needs of job seekers to engage with, and sustain, employment.
Launched by the Assistant Minister for Youth & Employment Services, Luke Howarth, the Index revealed that across all jobseekers there are 5 consistent priority needs. The Index then identifies unique needs across 8 key subgroups (i) females (ii) First Nations peoples (iii) people living with disability, injury, or health condition (iv) youth (v) mature aged (vi) culturally and linguistically diverse (vii) refugees and (viii) people with prior justice system experience.
“What you have done with the wellbeing measures over the years is profound and has had a significantly positive impact on our children and young people.”
"We are understandably very proud of being recognised for our ‘outstanding work in assisting homeless and disadvantaged youth’ and wish to celebrate with the key people who made it all possible. Most notably, this is you, Huber Social."
