The CFA Outcomes Framework sits alongside the strategy and includes a broad range of indicators that allow us to understand the impact and effectiveness of our activities and ensure we remain focused on our long-term vision.
We report against the Outcomes Framework quarterly to track our progress. These reports are provided to the Fire Services Implementation Monitor (FSIM) and along with quarterly reports from Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) inform FSIM quarterly reports which are available publicly.
Legislative Requirements
Section 140 of the Firefighters' Presumptive Rights Compensation and Fire Services Legislation Amendment (Reform) Act 2019 (the Act) required CFA and FRV to each, by 1 August 2020, prepare and publish an outcomes framework setting out:
- outcomes-based fire services performance measures
- such other matters as are prescribed by the regulations.
Section 140 of the Act also requires the CFA Chief Officer and the Fire Rescue Commissioner to provide a quarterly update to the Implementation Monitor setting out performance against the measures in the Outcomes Framework.
Section 141 of the Act requires the Implementation Monitor to prepare a quarterly report setting out the agencies' quarterly updates, the supporting data relied on and any other information he or she considers relevant (including accuracy of supporting data). The Implementation Monitor must publish the quarterly report within 30 days of receiving the agency’s quarterly update.
