FOREWORD
Dear Investor,
Thank you for considering an investment in the Resolve Social Benefit Bond (Resolve SBB),
Australia’s first social impact bond (SIB) to address the pressing social problem of mental health.
The Resolve SBB offers Investors the opportunity to generate a competitive financial return
while improving the lives of people suffering mental health issues in NSW. As an Investor,
you will be funding the working capital of the Resolve Program, a recovery-orientated
community support program which combines a residential service for periodic crisis care;
integrated psychosocial, medical and mental health support; and a warm line for after-hours
support from peers.
The Resolve Program will be delivered by Flourish Australia (Flourish), a highly experienced
mental health service provider and a national leader in the employment and support of mental
health peer workers. A differentiating feature of the Resolve model is that the majority of staff
will be peer workers with a lived experience of a mental health issue who can draw upon their
own personal experience to engage, support and be a role model for participants.
It is anticipated that approximately 530 adults will be enrolled in the Resolve Program over
five years, each of whom will have spent an extended period of time hospitalised for mental
health reasons. The Resolve Program will support each participant over a two-year period,
and will be delivered in collaboration with the Nepean Blue Mountains and Western NSW
Local Health Districts.
The Resolve SBB is expected to improve the mental health and wellbeing of participants, while
generating significant savings for the State through a reduction in participants’ utilisation of
health and other services, in particular by reducing the number of days spent in hospital. These
savings will be shared with Flourish to fund the delivery of the Resolve Program, and with
Investors to provide a financial return on their investment.
If the Resolve Program delivers the target outcome performance scenario agreed by the State,
SVA and Flourish over the term of the transaction, overall Investor returns are expected to be
approximately 7.5% per annum.
The Resolve SBB structure aligns the interests of Flourish, the State and Investors, and
imposes a strict focus on outcomes to support hundreds of individuals on their mental
health recovery journey.
I encourage you to read this Information Memorandum in its entirety in order to understand
the potential benefits and risks of this investment opportunity.

Control Group The group of individuals who meet the Resolve Program eligibility criteria
(but do not live in the Program catchment area) and who are ‘propensity
score’ matched to the Intervention Group for the purpose of creating the
Counterfactual.
Outcome Measure The outcome measure is the number of ‘National Weighted Activity Units’

each individual’s enrolment in the Intervention Group. NWAUs are an activity
measure for determining total health related service consumption. They reflect
both the duration and intensity of service delivery.
Counterfactual The level of health-related service utilisation by Intervention Group members
that would have been expected in the absence of the Resolve Program. The
Counterfactual is determined as the NWAUs incurred by each member of the
Control Group over a two-year period.
Program Savings Calculated Savings are determined by the percentage reduction in aggregate
NWAUs incurred by the Intervention Group relative to the Control Group each
year, multiplied by an agreed annual baseline cost. The baseline cost is based
upon expected State expenditure across a range of health and related services.
Standing Charge An aggregate amount of $9,000,000 payable under the Implementation
Agreement to the Issuer in three equal annual instalments.
Outcome
Payments
The payments made to the Issuer based on the calculated Program Savings.

next $20,000,000 of calculated Program Savings are paid to the Issuer, after
netting off all previous payments made under the Implementation Agreement
including the Standing Charge instalments.
Early Termination The Implementation Agreement may be terminated prior to expiry of its term
in various circumstances as further described in Section 6.2 (Implementation

2. THE RESOLVE SBB IN CONTEXT
2.1 Social Impact Bonds globally
SIBs are among the first and most prevalent social impact investment arrangements to combine
outcome-based payments and market discipline to address areas of pressing social need. The
prevalence of SIBs globally has steadily increased since they were first developed in the UK in 2010.
There are now over 70 SIBs in operation across 15 countries, which have raised over US$200
million in private capital. The range of social issues that SIBs are endeavouring to solve is broad
and growing, ranging from health, child and family welfare, criminal justice, education, workforce
participation and homelessness1.
2.2 Social Impact Investment in NSW
In 2013, the State pioneered Australia’s first two SIBs to improve outcomes for children and families
involved with child protection services: the Newpin Social Benefit Bond (funding Uniting’s Newpin
Program) and The Benevolent Society Social Benefit Bond (funding the Resilient Families Program).
The State has a clear commitment to supporting the broader social impact investment market to
develop new and innovative ways to deliver services to individuals and communities. In February 2015,
the State launched its Social Impact Investment Policy which outlined the State’s aim to deliver two new
social impact investments to market each year2.

2. THE RESOLVE SBB IN CONTEXT (CONT.)
‘We are committed to improving services and the lives of the most
vulnerable members of our community. This program is designed to assist
those with mental health issues to successfully return home and
re-engage with the community, and will be delivered through an
innovative partnership with the business sector.’
The Honourable Dominic Perrottet
NSW Treasurer and NSW Minister for Industrial Relations
‘The New South Wales Government is delighted to launch Australia’s first social
impact investment for mental health care.
The innovative Resolve Social Benefit Bond will help improve the health and
wellbeing of people experiencing mental health illness by better supporting
them in the community.
By partnering with an established mental health service provider, Flourish
Australia, the NSW Government will be supporting a community based,
recovery focused and peer led service for people with mental health conditions.
The Resolve Social Benefit Bond offers an opportunity for the NSW Government
to lead the way in mental health care and work together with the private and
non-profit sectors to deliver better outcomes for the people of NSW.’
The Honourable Tanya Davies
NSW Minister for Mental Health
In late 2015, the State released a Request for Proposals calling for innovative social impact investment
proposals targeting the areas of chronic health conditions and mental health hospitalisations.
Flourish and SVA partnered to develop and submit a proposal to the State in the area of mental health in
February 2016. The State subsequently announced that it would proceed to negotiate with Flourish and
SVA to develop Australia’s first SIB targeting the complex issue of mental health.

RESOLVE SOCIAL BENEFIT BOND INFORMATION MEMORANDUM12
3. INVESTMENT OVERVIEW
3.1 Introduction
The Resolve SBB provides Investors with an opportunity to fund a program that aims to improve the
mental health and wellbeing of hundreds of individuals in NSW, whilst earning a financial return on their
investment. This impact investment will raise private sector capital to fund the delivery of the Resolve
Program, a community based mental health program that will provide support for people experiencing
mental health conditions in the Western NSW and Nepean Blue Mountains LHDs.
Between 2012 and 2015, there were approximately 2,000 individuals each year that spent between 40
and 270 days as a mental health inpatient in NSW3. Across NSW, there are people with a lived mental
health experience who, because of demands on the health system, are not able to access support
services until the level of intervention required is admission to hospital. The Resolve Program is designed
to address this gap, by supporting individuals who frequently present and/or are admitted to public
hospitals in NSW.
The Resolve Program builds upon the deep experience of Flourish, an organisation that has worked in
local communities to support people on their mental health recovery journey for over 60 years. In its
delivery of the Resolve Program, Flourish will continue to embrace the participation of peer workers in
service delivery to provide hope and connection for participants by purposefully drawing on their lived
experience to support others.
An investment in the Resolve SBB is expected to deliver competitive financial returns to Noteholders over
its term. Coupon Payments and the repayment of Subscription Amounts are linked to the performance
of the Resolve Program, which is measured by the reduction in the consumption of health services by the
Intervention Group relative to a Control Group.
