The language we use has also changed from the initial terminology in the National Strategy. For a full list of the terminology we use, see our Glossary of terms page.
Governance
National Strategy and First National Action Plan governance and oversight will involve:

Officer-level implementation, non-government stakeholders including advisory bodies comprising representatives from priority groups and the national centre pass items for detailed consideration, collaboration, decision and risk vulnerability to the National Office for Child Safety (NOCS) monitoring and evaluation processes areas.
Items for detailed consideration, collaboration, decision and risk visibility are then passed up from NOCS for senior official oversight.
Items for decision and risk visibility are then passed on to the relevant ministers/ministerial forums.

Monitoring and measuring progress
We will be accountable and transparent in how we implement the National Strategy, including its First National Action Plan.
The main method we will use for assessing our progress will be regular reporting under a monitoring and evaluation framework. The National Strategy Monitoring and Evaluation Framework will track progress against short, medium and long-term outcomes. The National Strategy Monitoring and Evaluation Framework will work alongside, but not duplicate:
- the Child Abuse Royal Commission Evaluation Framework – including the Australian Government’s Annual Progress Reports into the implementation of the recommendations of the Royal Commission, which focus on child sexual abuse within institutions
- other existing reporting methods.
