have been made since the finalisation of the Revised Estimates Report 2017-18 (including December Quarterly Report). For further information see chapter 1 of this Budget Paper.

2. The decrease in Strategic Policy and Advice in 2018-19 reflects the cessation of one-off funding allocations for the Tasmanian Brand Skilled-Migration Campaign and Enhancing the Tasmanian Brand initiatives. This is offset by the transfer of funding from the Department of State Growth for the Tasmanian Brand Council.

3. The increase in Management of Executive Government Processes in 2018-19 reflects the review of corporate overheads for business activities within the Department.

4. The increase in Management and Ongoing Development of Service Tasmania in 2018-19 reflects the planned improvements to several Service Tasmania Shops and other business initiatives.

5. The increase in State Service Employment and Management in 2018-19 reflects expenditure related to whole-of-government services provided by the State Service Management Office.

6. The increase in Security and Emergency Management in 2018-19 reflects funding provided for the ongoing implementation of the Government’s response to the Blake Review into the Floods of June - July 2016 and National Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements funding for the Tasmanian Flood Project.

Performance InformationDuring 2016-17 the Department commenced a review of the performance measures for each Output with the aim to revise those measures. At the same time the Auditor-General, in May 2016, tabled a report in the Tasmanian Parliament on performance measures across all government agencies that included a number of recommendations on improvements to provide a better suite of measures for readers of the Budget papers and agency annual reports. These recommendations included reporting performance measures related to effectiveness, efficiency and economy and not measures of activity.In 2017-18 the Department reviewed all Outputs with the exception of Outputs 3.2 and 3.3, which have been reviewed in 2018-19. All the performance measures for all Outputs have now been reviewed and in some cases the measures for an Output have not changed as a result of the review, whereas, for other Outputs there have been significant changes. Not all of the Outputs have performance measures that meet criterion of effectiveness, efficiency or economy, but this will be addressed as part of the annual review of performance measures.The measures have been defined either as a performance measure or a measure of activity. Measures of activity have been published where no performance measure exists.

collected by TMD, The Training Consortium and the State Service Management Office for services provided to, and paid for by, government agencies.
