About The Team
The Planning, Performance and Governance (PPG) team leads the NDIS Commission’s annual performance cycle and broader planning ecosystem, ensuring that strategic intent translates into practical, measurable outcomes. The team plays a central role in administering the business planning process and supporting divisions to develop clear, aligned and deliverable plans that connect organisational strategy, budget, risk and performance. PPG also provides oversight of the Commission’s committee governance framework, supporting the establishment, operation and continuous improvement of committees so they function efficiently, with clear accountabilities, effective information flows and well‑informed decision‑making. The team focuses on embedding planning and governance approaches that are practical, connected and aligned to how the business operates. PPG partners with business areas to enable meaningful planning, performance storytelling and continuous improvement, while supporting effective use of established governance forums for monitoring delivery, managing risk and tracking progress against priorities. PPG ensures strong accountability through alignment with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 and supports a consistent, enterprise‑wide approach to planning, decision‑making and performance oversight.
