Newpin SA Social Impact Bond

The Newpin SA Social Impact Bond will support families and children experiencing disadvantage

The Newpin SA Social Impact Bond (SIB) offers investors the opportunity to generate a financial return whilst creating a lasting difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families in South Australia.

The Newpin Program is an 18-month centre-based program that has been designed to strengthen family engagement and has an established track record in ensuring that more children are able to live safely with their parents.

The Program will be delivered by Uniting Communities, one of South Australia’s largest providers of community services. It builds on the model and learnings of the Newpin Social Benefit Bond in NSW, which delivered an uplift in the proportion of children restored to the care of their family of close to 40% across the seven years of the bond contract.

There are currently over 4,000 children in South Australia living away from their parents in out-of-home care, highlighting a strong need for investment in reunification services.

Three Newpin centres will be established across metropolitan Adelaide under the SIB and it is anticipated that around 224 families will be referred to the Program over a five-year period. Each of these families will have at least one child who is below school age and in out-of-home care.

The Newpin Program is expected to generate positive outcomes for children, their families and the community. It is estimated that more than double the number of children will be reunified with their families than would occur in the absence of the Program.
