Accountability and performance

PublishingPageContent

Good governance is essential to achieving our purpose and objectives. It helps set the direction for our work, supports accountability, and drives high performance.

Legislative and regulatory compliance is the department’s first line of defence in managing risk. As its foundation, the department has a core requirement to comply with its legislative obligations in its pursuit of quality outcomes for children, students and the community.

We use evidence that balances opportunity and risk to inform our decisions. We are willing to accept a higher level of risk when pursuing innovation and opportunities that further our strategic objectives.

The department has the lowest appetite for risks associated with:

  • safety of children and students​
  • workplace health and safety of its staff and the community
  • security of confidential and personal information
  • fraud and corruption.

Our values are:

Customer first

Delivering the strategy

We put our strategic plan into action through operational planning within each division or branch, region, and school.

Operational plans detail the services, strategies, projects and initiatives we are delivering over the coming year. They also form the foundation for individual performance and development plans that outline the vital contribution of every employee, every day, achieving our vision for Queensland.

Progress towards achieving our strategic objectives is measured through quarterly governance reporting to the Executive Leadership Team and mid-year reviews of operational plans, and is reported in the department’s Annual Report.
