Embed the shared vision throughout commissioning cycles

Together we support Canberrans to thrive in the community.

We approach commissioning as an opportunity to: do things better; foster greater flexibility; creativity, innovation, and early support

Together, through the 2021 development of our commissioning approach, we established a shared vision for commissioning which remains central:

Ensure a link to the ACT Wellbeing Framework

The shared vision for commissioning mirrors the aspiration of the ACT Wellbeing Framework that defines:

‘Wellbeing is about how we are doing, as individuals, as a community, and as a place to live. It’s about having the opportunity and ability to lead lives of personal and community value – with qualities such as good health, time to enjoy the things in life that matter, in an environment that promotes personal growth and is sustainable. Measuring wellbeing is about having a sense of our progress around the things that matter to our quality of life and help us to live our lives well.’

For vulnerable Canberrans who need support to thrive in the community, commissioning is a critical enabler to ensure the supports are meeting the needs of Canberrans and driving wellbeing outcomes.
