The objective of an outcomes framework is to drive a more consistent approach to community services in Western Australia.
The key objectives of the working group project plan are to develop an outcomes measurement framework that will:
1. Identify outcome domains and outcomes across community services, driving a greater integrated approach across government. Therefore breaking down silos in government and service delivery to communities
2. Identify key indicators to measure the achievement of the outcomes
3. Be agreed upon by and workable for both government agencies and the community service sector
4. Provide a basis for information to inform government decision making on the effectiveness of its funding decisions and a biennial ‘Our Communities Report’
5. Be supported by tools or an implementation guide and access to data
6. Be compatible with other initiatives such as: a. the recommendations arising from the Service Priority Review final report; b. the development of Whole of Government Targets; and c. Existing government and community sector outcomes frameworks.
