Our contribution to the government’s agenda is reflected in our Outcome Statement which is to:
Support individuals, families and communities to achieve greater self-sufficiency; through the delivery of policy advice and high quality accessible social, health and child support services and other payments; and support providers and businesses through convenient and efficient service delivery.
We work with other government agencies to provide access to government social and health-related services that support self sufficiency through:
- the development of innovative and flexible service delivery policy that supports the implementation of government policy and programmes
- the design and development of service delivery systems that are convenient and accessible, and meet the diverse needs of the community
- the provision of payments and services that match customers’ circumstances
- support for people to help them understand their rights and responsibilities and meet their obligations
- work with the public, private and non-government organisations, state and territory governments and other Australian Government departments and agencies to build partnerships for the delivery of services.
