measurement of department-level
outcome and Services
The Department of Fisheries evaluates,
measures and reports on the effectiveness and
efficiency of its service delivery in achieving its
desired department-level outcome through Key
Performance Indicators or ‘KPIs’. KPIs comprise both
Effectiveness and Efficiency Indicators.
Effectiveness Indicators show the extent to
which the Department achieved its departmentlevel
outcome, while Efficiency Indicators show the
relationship between the service delivered and the
resources used in the delivery of that service. A
summary of the Department’s performance against
budget targets is provided in Table 21 below.
