Aboriginal evaluation methodology is a relatively new construct. While much insight has been generated in recent years in relation to conducting research among Aboriginal groups, little has been generated concerning evaluation methodologies. How are Aboriginal projects evaluated, by whom and for what purpose? What do Aboriginal people want evaluated and how might this be measured? How can non-Aboriginal evaluators respond to these issues effectively and respectfully in their evaluation of Aboriginal programs? This article addresses these questions by sharing key learnings from an evaluation of an intermediate labour market program 2 conducted in remote Western Australia. The evaluation used a multifaceted methodology involving interviews, art and photovoice and various techniques to increase engagement, hear the ‘voice’ of local people and ensure that findings were accessible to community members, program staff, government and other sectors. Important cultural and community factors influenced the evaluation design and subsequent implementation of the findings. Through shared reflexive practice it is hoped that this article will shape a framework for conducting effective and collaborative evaluations with aboriginal organisations and communities
