The Fire Services Outcomes Framework Progress Report is prepared and published in accordance with the Fire Services Implementation Monitor’s (FSIM) functions under section 141 of the Fire Rescue Victoria Act 1958. It includes results and commentary from the FSIM on select results from the Country Fire Authority’s (CFA) and Fire Rescue Victoria’s (FRV) respective outcomes frameworks for quarter 2 (Q2) of the 2025–26 financial year.
The FSIM publishes these quarterly reports on its website at Fire Services Implementation Monitor publications.
In this quarter:
- CFA’s Outcomes Framework reported on 26 out of 28 quarterly indicators (see Appendix A)
- FRV’s Outcomes Framework reported on 48 out of 50 quarterly measures (see Appendix B).
Revised FRV Outcomes Framework 2025
This is the second FSIM Outcomes Framework Progress Report to report on FRV’s progress against their revised FRV Outcomes Framework 2025. FRV’s revised Outcomes Framework 2025 has been included in this report for reference (see Appendix C). As noted in the FSIM’s quarter 1 (Q1) 2025–26 Outcomes Framework Progress Report, data for new measures will need to be collected for several quarters before trends and patterns can be observed.
