Outcome Based Management

Guidance
Western Australia’s performance management framework is referred to as Outcome Based Management (OBM). The OBM enables agencies to monitor how the services they deliver achieve their intended outcomes; there is a focus on results, not effort.
Last updated:

These updated guidelines supersede the March 2023 OBM guidelines. Parts of the document refer the reader to legislative requirements and other government publications. As these may change from time to time, or apply differently among departments, please ensure you consult these resources in conjunction with the OBM Guidelines.

Further guidance on the OBM may be obtained by contacting your DTF Analyst.
