1. Introduction
Chief Executive, Joslene Mazel, reflects on the achievements of the Department for Families and Communities (DFC) during 2010-11.
DFC is committed to delivering a better life for South Australians. The department is focused on placing the needs of our citizens and their families at the centre of our service delivery and facilitates positive outcomes for our clients by applying our values: connected, ethical, brave and respectful.
The past 12 months presented many highlights and challenges for the department’s key service areas including housing, care and protection of children and young people, disability support, ageing and community engagement.
DFC is one of the largest South Australian Government departments with over 6,000 employees. We value our workforce and offer our staff a wide range of career prospects, professional development and support.
The department is guided by seven governance principles and the services we deliver are bound by legislative requirements.
DFC is contributing to several social priorities of the South Australian Government, including Reconciliation, disability inclusion across the public sector, support for carers, and reducing the environmental impact of government activities.
Outcomes during 2010-11 in regards to accounts payment performance, expenditure on consultants and contractual arrangements entered into where the total value of the contract exceeds $4 million (GST inclusive).
The financial statements comprise a comprehensive report of the department’s financial performance and comply with relevant Treasurer’s Instructions issued under section 41 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987 and any relevant Australian accounting standards.
