Operating Context

In 2020, the already complex issues facing Government have been eclipsed by the once in a one hundred year global COVID-19 pandemic. The importance of protecting the health of all Australians, along with safeguarding Australia’s economic and national security interests, has never been greater. The need for Government to respond quickly to the pandemic in collaboration and alignment with state and territory governments has been critical to Australia’s capacity to manage the significant consequences of the pandemic. While the risks presented by COVID-19 and its ongoing impact remain, the operating environment in which we live and work will continue to be uncertain.

Measuring Performance

Our performance assessments are designed to cover core aspects of our work and the impact on stakeholders.

The Department uses a mix of independent and internal assessments of performance which include quantitative and qualitative data collection, stakeholder feedback, operational data, surveys, and evaluation through case studies. 

The results of our performance for 2020-21 will be tabled in Parliament and published in our Annual Performance Statement (within our Annual Report for 2020-21). The methodology for measuring results against targets will be included in the Annual Performance Statement.

The performance measures in this plan complement the performance criteria outlined in the PM&C 2020-21 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) to encompass 2020-21 and the forward estimates, after their publication in October 2020.
