- Collate community, client and service data for management reporting and performance reporting activities to ensure internal and external service delivery partners comply with required reporting. This allows for monitoring of program deliverables and consistent understanding of client outcomes.
- Liaise and work across DCJ Divisions and non-government stakeholders to ensure effective interface between program development, planning, service design and policy implementation.
