Departmental performance management and reporting

This report assesses the conceptual basis of the framework, noting the need for it to: encompass the activities of the wider public sector; give greater consideration to the adequacy of existing ex-ante public sector reporting practices; and ensure that measures include consideration of the long-term sustainability of government operations. The work commenced by the Department of Premier and Cabinet to define high level outcomes and performance indicators does not appear to be adequately linked to the Government’s resource allocation framework. Departmental objectives and indicators developed as part of the budget process need to be closely aligned to the Government’s high level outcomes and measures of progress.
