1. Our key findings

What we examined

Our audit followed 2 lines of inquiry:

1. Does Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) effectively support and promote a mentally healthy and supportive workplace and culture?

2. Does FRV proactively identify, monitor and manage its employees' mental health and wellbeing risks?

6. Processes to support compliance with reporting requirements

Departments annually review their performance information and have processes to check if they comply with the RMF’s requirements. 

However, our analysis of updates to the 2024–25 performance statements shows that these processes do not support departments to consistently meet the RMF’s requirements. 

Some departments told us they find it difficult to meet some of the RMF’s requirements and review their performance information within required timeframes.

Covered in this section:

5. DTF's performance statement

DTF’s performance statement helps users understand its role of providing financial, economic and commercial advice to the government. And its performance measures provide insights into the quality, quantity and timeliness of its performance.

However, we identified that only 67 per cent of performance measures give users the information they need to meaningfully assess DTF’s performance over time. We also could not reproduce DTF’s results for 61 per cent of its published performance measures, which means we cannot assure the accuracy of these results.
