Outcomes and program performance

2.1 Outcomes and performance information

Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Government on the Australian community. Agencies deliver programs which the Government actions are taken to deliver the stated outcomes. Agencies are required to identify the programs which contribute to Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.

Each outcome is described below together with its related programs, specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the performance of the GWRDC in achieving government outcomes.

Outcome 1:  The generation of new information that enhances the profitability, international competitiveness and sustainability of the Australian wine industry through investment in research and development.

Outcome 1 Strategy

The corporation expects to continue with its key investments with research organisations such as the Australian Wine Research Institute, CSIRO, National Wine Grape Industry Centre and various universities and state departments to generate new knowledge in line with stakeholder priorities but increasingly recognises the importance of extension and adoption activities. This recognition will drive increased investments in these areas through initiatives such as the Innovators’ Network and the GWRDC Regional program, which is expected to increase the value to stakeholders of GWRDC funded research, as adoption of new technologies and practices increases.
