The purpose of enterprise performance management is to monitor performance and keep strategy, capability and resources aligned with Government direction.

Defence’s enterprise performance is achieved by ensuring that Defence strategy and policy requirements are translated into corporate planning and budget allocation, which is implemented and resourced through Group and Service business plans. Performance and risks to achievement are monitored and reported by responsible and accountable officers to senior committees, including the Defence Committee, and to the Minister for Defence.

Defence’s performance reporting for 2019–20 aligns with the performance information in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2019–20 and the 2019–20 Defence Corporate Plan.
