Organisational structure

Figure 6 shows FaCS's structure at 30 June 2002, the responsibilities of FaCS senior executives, and the relationship between FaCS's structure and the outcome and output structure. An updated organisational structure is located on the Who's who page of the FaCS web site.

FaCS's organisational structure reflects its strategic themes with responsibilities divided across strategic outcomes. The State and Territory Office network takes advantage of its specialist expertise and locational advantages to help FaCS achieve its outcomes.

Four key departmental outputs are produced across FaCS. Three outputs cover policy and management of delivering administered outputs to the community.

The service delivery output links directly to the administered outputs or items in each output group. The Child Support Agency and CRS Australia were the main service delivery arms within FaCS in 2001–02. The remainder of the service delivery output is provided by Centrelink or other external organisations.
