Governance and accountability
Comcare is required by the Australian Government to adhere to relevant legislation, to produce a corporate plan and annual report, and to report on activities.
The annual report informs the Parliament, our partners, customers and the public about our activities and how we are performing.
Our Corporate Plan provides Parliament, the public and our clients and stakeholders with an understanding of our purpose, roles and responsibilities, strategic priorities and key activities, operating context and how we will measure performance.
This is Comcare's commitment to the standards of service you can expect from us. It also explains the steps you can take if our service standards are not met.
