Each year the Report on Government Services publishes performance data on a range of government services. These guidelines were developed to assist readers to interpret the performance indicator data for child protection and out-of-home care services. For each of the performance indicators, the guidelines provide information on what is being measured, the importance of the indicator, factors that might affect performance, performance ranges for similar indicators within Australia and internationally and the views of professionals on what might be considered an 'adequate' performance range.
