Working with our Central Agency partners
The Treasury works alongside its two Central Agency partners, the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) and the State Services Commission (SSC), to lead the State services to improve the quality of the services they provide, within existing baselines.
Working together ensures that we maximise the impact of the work we do by ensuring that our approaches and our messages to the sector are well-aligned and that Ministers receive the best possible advice for decision-making.
The Central Agencies share three broad aims. These are:
- working together to gain traction on difficult or enduring cross-agency results and policy areas
- lifting the performance of agencies, and
- enhancing public sector management systems.
Each year we agree particular areas of focus within these broad aims. The intended focus of our Central Agency work for the next three years is explored in more detail in pages 16 to 18 of this SOI.
