2022-23 Quarter 1 Fire Services Outcome Framework Progress Report

Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) have provided their quarterly fire service performance updates for the period of 1 July to 31 September 2022 to the Fire Services Implementation Monitor (FSIM).

This Progress Report provides a summary of the agencies’ fire service performance data for Quarter One (Q1) FY 2022-23.

CFA reported against all indicators in its Year 2 Outcomes Framework. CFA is developing its Year 3 Outcomes Framework and intends to report against the Year 3 Outcomes Framework in Q2 FY 2022-23.

FRV’s transition to the Year 2 Outcomes Framework is still in progress. FRV continues to report on selected Year One Outcomes Framework measures and has provided data against Year 2 Outcomes Framework indicators in Q1.

The Q1 FY 2022-23 Progress Report notes:

• CFA and FRV work to refine their respective outcomes frameworks to demonstrate progress towards strategic goals
• FRV’s work to update its data management processes after identifying data quality issues in Q1 FY 2022-23
• the need for CFA and FRV to work together to finalise outstanding Service Level Agreements to address inefficiencies arising from interim administrative arrangements
• CFA results for occupational health and safety indictors are not meeting the Q1 baseline and actions taken to address these issues
• FRV results for skills maintenance are not meeting the Q1 targets and actions taken to identify opportunities to improve skills maintenance uptake
• CFA and FRV results for community preparedness and education indicators is improving.
