Qualitative assessment
Methodology
The Official Establishments Unit manages the Prime Minister’s
residences through a consultative process involving the Prime Minister
and his wife, senior advisers within the Prime Minister’s
Office and the departmental Executive. The unit is assessed on
feedback from the relevant parties regarding the provision of its
services.
The evaluation of our secretariat support for the Official Establishments
Trust is based on the Trust members’ assessment of the quality
of the services provided.
Feedback
The unit’s management of the official residences attracted
positive comments from all parties involved.
The Chairman of the Official Establishments Trust, Richard Griffin,
indicated the Trust’s satisfaction with the unit’s
provision of secretariat support services.
Key results
During 2002-03, the Official Establishments Unit continued
to provide high-quality management services for the official residences,
as well as high-quality secretariat support to meetings of the
Official Establishments Trust.
Official residences
The Official Establishments Unit continued to manage the Prime
Minister’s official residences - The Lodge, Canberra
and Kirribilli House, Sydney - during 2002-03. Consultation
with the Official Establishments Trust and the Australian Heritage
Commission was an integral part of that management.
Official Establishments Trust
The Official Establishments Trust, facilitated by the unit, met
five times during the year, to consider a number of important issues
related to the official residences. The Trust’s contribution
ensured the continued preservation of the official residences’ National
Estate status.
Australiana Fund
The Australiana Fund receives a grant-in-aid from the department,
to enable the Fund to obtain professional assistance to meet the
objectives set out in the Fund’s memorandum of association.
This ensures that the Fund is able to acquire Australian objects
for placement or display in appropriate locations.
The 2002-03 grant-in-aid received by the Australiana Fund
was $81,500. |
