Purpose and Scope of the Policy and Funding Plan
Each Division in the Department of Human Services is producing a Policy and Funding Plan for 2006/09. The Plans support the Department's objective of being transparent, accountable and more openly communicative with its funded agencies and the community.
The Policy and Funding Plan presents, as a single resource, comprehensive information covering five main topics:
Policy Context - Overview of the Government's policy framework and the Department's strategic objectives and directions.
Divisional Directions - The Division's strategic initiatives and program priorities for 2006/09.
Consultation Arrangements - Outline of the Division's consultation arrangements for 2006/09.
Budget - Overview of the Division's budget.
Service Agreement Information - Supplementary Service Agreement information detailing activities funded, service standards and guidelines and accountability requirements for the Department's funded agencies.
