Sector performance indicator framework

This sector overview is based on a sector performance indicator framework and is made up of the following elements:

• Sector objectives — three sector objectives are a précis of the key objectives of the community services sector.
• Sector-wide indicators — sector-wide indicators are high level indicators which cut across community services.
• Service-specific indicators — information from the service-specific performance indicator frameworks that relate to community services. Discussed in more detail in chapters 13, 14, 15 and 16, the service-specific frameworks provide comprehensive information on the equity, effectiveness and efficiency of these services.
