PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance indicators
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance indicators Progress towards the objective and outcomes of this Agreement will be informed with reference to the following performance indicators: the proportion of representation services delivered to priority clients. For reporting purposes, the States will report on a subset of priority clients comprising: children and young people (up to 24 years); people experiencing financial disadvantage; Indigenous Australians; older people (aged over 65 years); people experiencing, or at risk of, family violence; people residing in rural or remote areas; people who are culturally and linguistically diverse; and people with a disability or mental illness; the proportion of clients receiving quality services that are delivered appropriately to match clients’ legal needs and levels of capability, as measured through client surveys; for legal aid commissions only, the number of facilitated resolution processes and the percentage of processes that result in a held conference reaching full or partial settlement of matters; from 2017-18, for community legal centres, the number of services delivered to clients experiencing or at risk of family violence, including the number of representation services, legal advices, duty lawyer services, and legal tasks, and the number of legal assistance services delivered (comprising: information and referral; legal advice; legal task; duty lawyer services; dispute resolution; court/litigation and other representation; and community legal education), disaggregated by service type and law type. Performance benchmarks The Parties agree to meet the following performance benchmarks: for legal aid commissions, 95% or more of representation services are delivered to people experiencing financial disadvantage – to be achieved by each State in each six month period from 1 July 2015 onwards; for community legal centres, 85% or more of total representation services are delivered to people experiencing financial disadvantage – to be achieved by each State in aggregate across all community legal centres in each six month period between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2017; and for community legal centres, 90% or more of total representation services are delivered to people experiencing financial disadvantage – to be achieved by each State in aggregate across all community legal centres in each six month period from 1 July 2017 onwards.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. 21. Performance monitoring and reporting will be in accordance with Part 5 of this Agreement.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance indicators
23. Achievement of the objectives and outcomes in this Agreement will be informed with reference to the Performance Indicators detailed in Table 1.
24. The NIA ECEC is an agreement between the Commonwealth and the States that provides a framework for cooperation to develop the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) information base required for the COAG early childhood reform agenda. This includes the establishment and maintenance of the ECEC National Minimum Data Set (ECEC NMDS) which underpins the National Early Childhood Education and Care Collection (the National Collection).
25. The annual National Collection is the primary data source for matters under this Agreement and for the measurement of achievement of benchmarks and monitoring of progress under this Agreement. Schedule A of this Agreement outlines specific information relating to Performance Indicator Specifications.
26. In addition, States may provide supplementary data and/or contextual information to the Commonwealth to aid interpretation of the data, on which the Commonwealth will consult with the relevant State. Once agreed by the Commonwealth, the supplementary data and/or contextual information will be used to inform assessment of States’ achievement of performance benchmarks. Supplementary data must be provided in a timely manner to assist in assessing performance benchmarks in accordance with Table 2 and Table 3. Providing universal access to and improving participation of all children in affordable, quality early childhood education program(s), including that: i. vulnerable and disadvantaged children have access to, and participate in, an affordable, quality early childhood education program; ii. Indigenous children have access to, and participate in, an affordable, quality early childhood education program; and iii. all Indigenous four-year-olds in remote communities have access to early childhood education. Implementing accessible, quality early childhood education programs which meet the needs of parents and communities at a cost which does not present a barrier to participation, particularly for vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance benchmarks or milestones
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING a. The recipient is responsible for monitoring day-to-day performance and for reporting to NRCS. If the project involves subaward arrangements, the recipient is also responsible for monitoring the performance of project activities under those arrangements to ensure that approved goals and schedules are met.
b. Every 6 months the recipient must submit a written progress report. Each report must cover— 1. A comparison of actual accomplishments with the goals and objectives established for the reporting period and, where project output can be quantified, a computation of the costs per unit of output.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance benchmarks or milestones
22. Milestones for initiatives, their relationship to the activities, expected completion dates, relevant reporting dates and expected payments to be made will be set out in the FFA Schedules. The Parties agree to meet the milestones and/or performance benchmarks set out in these FFA Schedules. The Commonwealth will make payments subject to the performance report demonstrating the relevant milestone has been met. Milestones should reflect the completion of a phase of the initiative.
23. The States will provide performance reports in accordance with requirements they have agreed to in FFA Schedules. The States will report the minimum required to demonstrate that milestones have been met against the agreed performance benchmarks or milestones, that is, yearly and at most six-monthly. Each performance report is to contain a description of actual performance in the period to date against the initiative milestones.
24. Reporting requirements should be proportionate to the risk involved by the initiative. States have the flexibility to determine how best to meet the reporting requirements of this Agreement and can make use of any appropriate data sources, including existing State reporting mechanisms.
25. Performance indicators should be meaningful, simple and comprehensible to the public. Indicators should be limited to those necessary to measure performance and inform the public about progress of initiatives or other outputs.
26. This Agreement will not alter any of the States existing reporting requirements under the FFA Schedules.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. The Borrower shall ensure that within 3 months of the Effective Date, a Project Performance Monitoring System (PPMS) shall have been established in a form and with a composition acceptable to ADB, based upon the PPMS indicators agreed upon between the Borrower and ADB. The Borrower shall collect base line data for performance monitoring and undertake periodic Project performance review in accordance with the PPMS to evaluate the scope, implementation arrangements, progress and achievements of objectives of the Project.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance indicators
23. Achievement of the objectives and outcomes in this Agreement will be informed with reference to the following performance indicators:
(a) total number of recipients and value of grants paid in the reporting period (separately for the $25,000 grant and the $15,000 grant); and
(b) total value of eligible contracts for which payments were made in the reporting period (separately for the $25,000 grant and the $15,000 grant), split between new builds and substantial renovations.
24. The States will report monthly against the agreed performance indicators during the operation of the Agreement and provide a statement of assurance that all recipients of payments under this Agreement satisfy the eligibility criteria outlined in Schedule A.
25. The States will provide summary reports to the Commonwealth by the fifteenth of every month, commencing 15 July 2020 (illustrating performance indicator data from the previous month i.e. 1 – 30 June 2020), ending 15 June 2023.
26. For integrity purposes, States should ensure that appropriate notices are given to applicants and consent is obtained from applicants to ensure that information about the application, the contract and the building work to which it applies can be provided to the Commonwealth at the request of the Commonwealth.
27. In addition, the States will provide a weekly summary based on preliminary information on the number and value of recipients/applicants and breakdown of new builds and substantial renovations (separately for the $25,000 grant and the $15,000 grant).
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND REPORTING. Performance indicators
18. Achievement of the objectives and outcomes in this Agreement will be informed with reference to the following performance indicators:
(a) number of adult patients on public dental waiting lists;
(b) waiting time for adult patients on public dental waiting lists;
(c) number of adult patients and the number of services provided to them, measured in Dental Weighted Activity Units (DWAUs);
(d) number of Indigenous adult patients and the number of services provided to them, measured in DWAU;
(e) total number of adult patients in rural and regional areas and the number of services provided to them, measured in DWAU; and
(f) number of services provided by the private sector for adult public patients, measured in DWAU. Dental Weighted Activity Xxxxx0
00. Throughput under this Agreement will be measured in terms of DWAUs, calculated using the Australian Dental Association (ADA) three digit item codes and a weighting for those items as set out in Schedule B2.
20. Nothing in this Agreement prevents a State using its own reporting or performance measures within its jurisdiction. However, States will still be required to report to the Commonwealth in the format provided in Schedule B-2.
21. The Parties agree to meet the following performance benchmarks, which will be assessed relative to the 2013-14 baseline as defined in clause 16(b):
(a) the States will at least maintain their baseline levels of DWAU, as identified as the 2013-14 baseline defined in clause 16(b) ; and
(b) over the life of the Agreement, the States will provide the additional numbers of DWAU set out in Table 1.
22. Payments will not be made unless the State has achieved at least 65 per cent of the performance benchmark for that period. At and above that threshold, payments will be paid proportional to the achievement against the performance benchmark on a pro rata basis, from 65 per cent to 100 per cent of funding (for achieving 100 per cent of the throughput target). If a performance benchmark is not fully met, the amount of any unmet performance benchmark and the remaining available funding tied to the unmet benchmark may be added to a subsequent period, subject to Commonwealth Budget Rules. Any amount achieved above 100 per cent of the target may be transferred into a subsequent period, subject to Commonwealth Budget Rules. 1 One Dental Weighted Activity Unit is roughly equivalent to completed treatment for one adult patient.
