Assessment scale

The Commission has made slight adjustments to Ambulance Victoria's assessment scale for evaluating the progress of implementing recommendations. While maintaining the framework used by Ambulance Victoria, the revised scale emphasises the importance of aligning activities with the intended goals of each recommendation. The circular representation also highlights the ongoing nature of the workplace reforms.

In some recommendations, the assessment scale is coupled with a flag. This is to signify recommendations where the Commission has concerns about the implementation approach taken to date, including where there is a need to urgently address issues or take significant actions. It is hoped this visual note will assist Ambulance Victoria to prioritise the next steps in workplace reform.
