What we do

Working together for better outcomes

We work in partnership with the community, other government agencies, different sectors and inter-jurisdictional partners to collectively deliver outcomes that reflect shared priorities and public value.

To achieve this we:

• effectively lead and facilitate whole-of-government solutions
• provide expert advice to government
• design and deliver fit-for-purpose systems, services and regulation
• deliver on community priorities
• build effective and respectful relationships
• deliver great service
• develop effective systems to make our work easier and more efficient.

Our strategic direction

To ensure we work towards our shared goals, our strategic direction captures our vision, what we do, how we do it and what we stand for. All this is underpinned by our values. The plan also recognises the constantly evolving environment we work within.

• Our resource management: We ensure sustainable budget, financial and asset management and being fiscally responsible.
