Our approach

The Office of the Independent Implementation Supervisor (OIIS) uses several approaches to monitor and report on progress of implementation. This includes examining progress of individual recommendations due for completion, and looking at implementation through a system-wide lens to examine collective progress and achievements more broadly.


In each reporting period, the Independent Implementation Supervisor (IIS) assesses the progress of recommendations due to be completed in full, as well as interim milestones that are considered 'significant', meaning they are foundational to the implementation of the reform program or to creating tangible changes on the ground.

Individual recommendations due to be completed in full are reported as:

The progress measure is used to assess the extent of implementation of the Government Response to each recommendation. It also indicates any delays to completion, or recommendations that are near completion, according to the implementation plans provided to the OIIS. The fulfilment measure is used to assess the implementation of recommendations deemed completed by the Government. Fulfilment indicates whether the work has achieved completion of all components of the Government Response; with ‘closed’ meaning no further monitoring is required by the IIS, and ‘not yet closed’ indicating continued monitoring is required by the IIS. Finally, Adequacy is assessed for selected recommendations to examine whether implementation of the Government Response has been sufficient and sustainable.

The IIS also monitors progress achieved across the system. This involves examining implementation through different lenses to understand, at a high level, where progress or delays have been observed across the system and identify areas of collective impact.

The first category is the level of systems change, which includes system-wide change, knowledge change and practice change. The second category is the spectrum of prevention. This includes primary prevention, secondary prevention, tertiary prevention and recovery and rehabilitation. The final category involves mapping recommendations that are tailored to specific groups, such as children and young people, First Nations people, and regional or remote communities, among other groups.
