We conducted a systematic overview of reviews of scholarly evidence on scale up, and 11 practice interviews with behaviour science researchers and practitioners to identify the factors and activities that influence the scale up of behaviour change interventions. This research underpinned the development of the scale up toolkit.

BehaviourWorks Australia and the Victorian Government Behavioural Insights Unit have developed an evidence-informed toolkit to help behavioural insights researchers and practitioners to start with scale up in mind, including how to:
Learn about scale up, its challenges, and useful frameworks.
Identify which behaviour to target with an intervention.
Assess the feasibility of different intervention ideas.
Select a scalable behaviour change intervention.
Design or adapt an intervention for testing and scale up.
Test scale up assumptions about your intervention in a pilot or trial.
This website provides videos and tutorials on how to use the toolkit, and extra resources to help achieve behavioural impact at scale. All content will be iterated upon; we welcome feedback and the opportunity to develop better tools.
