The Queensland Government uses a range of not-for-profit organisations and private providers to support the delivery of public services. This includes housing, employment, community and disability support, and other services. These organisations often have strong community networks, flexible service models, and an established presence in rural and remote Queensland.
Who we may audit
- Department of Youth Justice and Victim Support
- Department of Health and selected hospital and health services
- Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety.
Other entities who may form part of this audit include:
- Department of Housing and Public Works.
In this audit, we will assess the effectiveness of public sector entities’ oversight of community and non-government entities to deliver critical services. This will involve assessing the public sector entities’ design and management of contracts and performance to understand whether service providers are providing value for money and are achieving intended outcomes.
