Corporate Plan 2024-25

The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Corporate Plan for 2024–25

Part 3: Performance reporting framework

PM&C’s performance reporting framework sets out what we intend to achieve over the 4-year period covered by this corporate plan (2024–25 to 2027–28), and reflects a range of qualitative and quantitative measures to demonstrate how we will deliver on our purpose.

Our key activities

We achieve our purpose through 3 key activities that reflect the way we work and the role PM&C plays in supporting the government.

  • Provide informed, impactful and timely advice.
  • Support government priorities through whole-of-government leadership and coordination.
  • Enable government decision-making, including Cabinet operations.

Our approach to measuring performance

Our performance reporting framework provides detail on how we measure progress in achieving our purpose by identifying:

  • performance measures that reflect the outcomes our key activities are intended to achieve
  • targets for each performance measure to assess achievements over time
  • methodologies and data sources to monitor results and track our overall progress.

PM&C is committed to producing accurate, accountable and transparent performance reporting. We continue to look for opportunities to develop and mature our performance reporting framework, and to strengthen how we present our performance information to the parliament and the public.

As part of this continuous improvement process, we have focused on refining our key activities for 2024–25, identifying 3 key activities that better reflect PM&C’s core functions. As a consequence, we have updated the performance measures and targets covered by this corporate plan (see Appendix A: Summary of changes to performance measures).

Our performance measures

PM&C uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative performance information – as well as proxy measures where appropriate2 – to assess and report on our achievements.
