Dept. of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) – Victorian Schools Plan – Reporting

Background

The DEECD in Victoria was established in 2007 to ensure children’s services were meeting the needs of families and children within the state.

DEECD managed the Victorian Schools Plan (VSP), an initiative to upgrade and develop 1600 schools at a cost of around $1.9 billion.

Our task

Consulcad were engaged to provide a robust program reporting system that involved managing multiple stakeholders and contractors for both the minister and the program management team.

What we did

In close collaboration with key stakeholders, Consulcad enhanced the existing reporting system to the level of functionality required for a large and complex program of works. This was achieved by customising software tools for the DEECD so they met their specific needs and objectives.

The outcome

By delivering the required accurate program and project level reporting system, Consulcad was able to improve the department’s internal governance processes and reporting capabilities up to ministerial level.
