An Industry Reference Group was established by the Minister for Employment Participation, the Hon Mark Arbib MP, to provide advice on the performance management framework for the new Disability Employment Services (DES), commencing on 1 March 2010. The report has informed the Performance Framework as detailed in the Disability Employment Services 2010-2012 Request for Tender.
Membership of the Industry Reference Group included the following peak industry associations:
- ACE National Inc (ACE)
- Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO)
- Australian Rehabilitation Providers Association (ARPA)
- Jobs Australia Limited
- National Disability Services (NDS)
- National Employment Services Association (NESA)
The Industry Reference Group focussed on the key performance indicators for the new programs including weightings and the development of a method for measuring the comparative performance of providers in the new programs.
Once tenders have closed the industry peaks will be asked to identify two provider members each to join the group, which will then turn its attention to more technical aspects of the framework. This way it can be assured the results will be practical and achieve the objectives set for the framework.
