Financial Management (Performance Criteria) Amendment 2007 (No 1)
Notifiable instrument NI2007— 50
made under the
Financial Management Act 1996, s19D (Amendment of Performance Criteria)

1	Name of instrument
This instrument is the Financial Management (Performance Criteria) Amendment 2007 (No 1).
2	Commencement
This instrument is taken to have commenced on 1 January 2007.
3	Amendment of 2006-2007 performance criteria
The performance criteria for the 2006-2007 financial year are amended as set out in the schedule.
4	Statement of reasons for amendments
Section 19D (3) (g) of the Financial Management Act 1996 provides that the Minister may by instrument amend performance criteria if the Minister is satisfied that performance criteria (other than those stated in the Budget) should be adopted for the provision of outputs by the Department.
The terminology for Output 2.1: Non Government Education accountability indicator b is to be changed as per the schedule.
The terminology has been changed to more accurately reflect the measurement of the Department’s output – the efficiency of Departmental processes in provision of home education registration.  After amendments to the Education Act 2004 parents are no longer required to make a second application for registration, only written notification of intention to register for home education is required.  The measure has been reworded to incorporate these changes.
