Commonwealth Government departments and agencies are tasked with executing policy, services and projects in a transparent, timely and effective manner nationwide. They do this under intense scrutiny and in collaboration with state governments and the private sector.
The Commonwealth Government’s objectives are influenced by a number of factors, including election cycles, changes in government and policy and unforeseen factors from local and overseas sources. These objectives need to be fulfilled under intense scrutiny from the public, the media and internal bodies.
