Assessment and evidence
This is an intended outcome in the Department’s Statement of Strategy 2025–2028. Receipt Brief did not identify sufficiently comprehensive, comparable public information across all three elements: user responsiveness, administrative timeframes, and decision quality.
Available material is included in the full report as context and does not determine the status. The assessment remains within timeframe because the strategy runs to 2028 and has no more specific deadline. It could be more fully assessed with published indicators and comparable baseline and progress data for customer satisfaction, administrative timeframes, decision errors and quality assurance.
