Report on Government Services
The annual Report on Government Services (RoGS) provides information on the equity, effectiveness and efficiency of government services in Australia. The 2021 RoGS was progressively released between 20 January and 2 February 2021.
Impact of COVID-19 on data in the 2021 Report
COVID‑19 may affect data in this Report in a number of ways. This includes in respect of:
- actual performance — that is, the impact of COVID‑19 on service delivery in 2020 which is reflected in the data for those indicators with data covering this time period
- the collection and processing of data — that is, the ability of data providers to undertake data collection and process results for inclusion in the Report (regardless of the time period of the data).
For affected data, the impacts of various restrictions introduced from March 2020 have been identified and noted in relevant sections. The impacts predominately related to changes in service inputs, outputs and outcomes, but did not change the comparability of any indicators in the 2021 Report. For some service areas, the impact resulted in non-collection of data (for example, NAPLAN 2020 for section 4 – School education) or delays in data collection and hence no new data available in time for inclusion in this edition of the Report (for example, Student Outcomes Survey 2020 for section 5 – VET).
The Steering Committee will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on future editions of this Report.
