About the Review of Government Service Provision

Introduction

The Review of Government Service Provision was established in 1993 by Heads of government (now the Council of Australian Governments or COAG) to provide information on the effectiveness and efficiency of government services in Australia. A Steering Committee, comprising senior representatives from the central agencies of all governments, manages the Review with the assistance of a Secretariat provided by the Productivity Commission.

The Review's aims are to:

• provide ongoing comparisons of the performance of government services
• report on service provision reforms that governments have implemented or that are under consideration.
