Outcomes and programs
Defence’s annual Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) detail the outcomes and program structures for the Defence portfolio. Within this framework, the outcome is the intended result, impact or consequence of our actions. We work towards achieving our outcomes through undertaking activities and delivering results for each program.
Figure 2.1 shows Defence’s purpose. Underpinning this purpose are two outcomes for 2019–20, together with the related programs. The PBS describes the performance criteria and targets to be used in assessing and monitoring the performance of Defence in achieving government outcomes.
