Accountability and Not-for-Profit Organisations

Public Accounts Committee (1986 - 2001)· 23 November 2000general_report

This 2000 WA parliamentary report examines the impact of contracting out social and community services to not-for-profit organisations (NFPOs) following the implementation of National Competition Policy. It focuses on accountability, cost impacts, and performance monitoring, highlighting inconsistencies and a lack of collaboration between government and NFPOs.

Impact

NFPOs face administrative burdens and funding uncertainties. Service quality and access, especially in regional areas, are potentially affected. Government agencies need better contract management and performance evaluation skills.
