Under the Outcomes Framework 2023–2032, there are a range of measures that will be tracked to monitor change in the short, medium and long-term. The Performance Measurement Plan (PMP) links outcomes and sub-outcomes to indicators, measures and data sources. It also identifies data gaps that will inform the evaluation methodology and data development plan overseen by the Department of Social Services.
Data dashboards and the related measure pages in this website allow people to explore the national targets and sub-outcome measures with an available data source, including a baseline. See the National Plan Outcomes.
Technical specifications provide a guide to how the data are reported against each measure reported in this website. In some instances, the data outlined in the specifications may not be reported due to data quality or other considerations.
The PMP is a living document that will be regularly reviewed and updated as the data landscape changes over the life of the National Plan. Following the first release of the PMP, the AIHW undertook further work with data custodians to confirm what data were available for reporting. As a result, changes to some measures have been made to better reflect the data being used to report, and some changes have been made following advice of data custodians.
The technical specifications will continue to be refined to align with changes to the PMP in the future.
