The Department uses outcomes where it provides services directly to people or communities.
Outcomes are a state or condition of society, the economy, or the environment and describe the long-term state or condition the government seeks to achieve, largely through the operations of its agencies.
Intermediate Outcomes are more specific statements of outcomes. Intermediate outcomes provide a bridge between outcomes and impacts.
Impacts are the Department’s contribution to an outcome by a specified set of services or actions, or both.
