Overview of our performance
We consider performance at three levels: outcomes (which are long-term, complex, and subject to many influences), impacts (which are the desired effects of our work), and services (which are what we deliver directly). This overview is structured according to the three levels and the assessments are based on the results of the set of indicators in each category. See Part 5 to read more about each individual indicator.

Notes: For indicators that have targets, the assessments are: Achieved – all targets are met / Partially achieved – some targets are met, some are not met / Not achieved – no targets are met / Not assessed – the indicators are not required to be assessed or the relevant information is not available.
For quantity indicators that do not have targets, the actual quantities are compared with the previous year and the assessments are: Increased / Maintained / Decreased.
The change for each category is assessed by comparing the previous year's achievement against targets. For quantity indicators without targets, the change is change in quantity.
