Our Performance

Download this section (1 MB)

Around the world, governments and communities are seeking to understand whether services delivered by agencies meet expected goals and outcomes.

One way to determine this is through timely, accurate and meaningful performance information. Done well, this assists in improving accountability and transparency and aids in our decision-making. We use performance measurement to gain insight into, and make judgements about, the effectiveness and efficiency of the services we are providing. Communication of our performance is part of our commitment to sustainable reporting and good governance.

The following scorecard provides a summary of how well we are performing on a wide range of issues material to our business and our customers. Whilst this provides a snapshot, more detailed information and other measures are included throughout the report.
