Reporting arrangements
All Advance Queensland programs report quarterly on implementation and performance, providing a consolidated view of the progress of the initiative against key measures, including:
- Program status (programs launched, rounds opened/closed, events held).
- Program budget (expenditure, funds contractually committed).
- Innovators reached (applications received, attendance at events).
- Innovators supported (recipients of grants, prizes and opportunities).
- Funds leveraged (funds contractually committed by program partners).
- Jobs supported (new Queensland jobs reported, new Queensland jobs forecast).
This approach:
- enables regular, consistent and transparent information collection from relevant agencies
- provides a consolidated view of Advance Queensland for key stakeholders
- provides agencies with a forward schedule of reporting to enable planning
- provides the necessary evidence base for ongoing program evaluation and design.
The Advance Queensland reporting approach is consistent with the overarching Advance Queensland Evaluation Framework, which prescribes the holistic review and evaluation activities to be completed over time.
