Section 2: Outcomes and Planned Performance
2.1
OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programmes are the
primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programmes which
contribute to government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programmes, specifying the
performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of
DIBP in achieving government outcomes.
Outcome 1: Support a prosperous and inclusive Australia through managing
temporary and permanent migration, entry through Australia's borders, and
Australian citizenship.
Outcome 1 Strategy
Outcome 1 contributes to Australia’s economic and social prosperity through the
provision of visa services, inclusive and secure policy, programme development in
relation to permanent migration and temporary entry, as well as a strong and cohesive
Australian society through the promotion of a unifying citizenship. This will be
achieved through:
 a cohesive, inclusive and secure policy framework that supports the effective
delivery of the government’s expectations
 a targeted deregulation agenda that reduces impost to industry, business and
clients
 policy development and programme accountability in line with the government’s
migration and visa reform agendas
 migration and temporary entry that contributes to economic and social growth with
enhanced integrity measures
 effective delivery of client services through designated channels which meet
reasonable client expectations
 implementation of government policy supportive of the objectives of Australia’s
immigration and citizenship law
 maintaining the integrity of Australia’s citizenship programme while promoting
the acquisition, and recognition within the community, of the importance of
acquiring Australian citizenship
24
DIBP Budget Statements
 enhanced ability to acquire and use identity information through the further
development of international and inter-jurisdictional agreements and the wider use
of biometric technology
 support of law enforcement and security agencies in preventing the entry of people
who are a direct or indirect threat to the Australian community and to national
security, and a contribution to the government’s efforts in relation to counter
terrorism activities through the use of information, intelligence and technology
 working with both national and international border agencies to develop new
intelligence led, risk-based entry policies and procedures to detect and minimise
identity and document fraud
 contribution to whole of government initiatives to counter identity fraud,
transnational organised crime and offshore emergencies.
DIBP’s progress is measured on the development and implementation of the
government’s agenda including:
 effective skills-targeting within the permanent migration and temporary entry
programme to support industry and businesses
 continued enhancement of the student programme
 ongoing development of the working holiday, visitor and specialist entry
programmes
 a robust and sustainable family reunion programme
 a communication strategy that promotes the value and acquisition of Australian
citizenship.
DIBP’s performance will be measured by:
 effective deregulation of the current migration and temporary entry programmes
 delivery of the 2014-15 Migration Programme within the parameters and policy
guidelines set by the Government
 evidence-based policy formation and decision making including relevant research
and evaluation, stakeholder input and expert opinions.
