Performance framework
We developed a performance framework and a set of key performance indicators in collaboration with Queensland Treasury, which took effect from 1 July 2018. The KPIs will be tracked and all reported results reported published in our annual report.
Download performance framework
The performance framework includes an annual self assessment and a biennial external review performed by an independent researcher. The first review was conducted in 2020 and surveyed a wide range of stakeholders that included entities regulated by the QCA, customers of those entities, special interest and advocacy groups, the QCA’s Consumer Advisory Committee and government representatives.
We are currently progressing various stakeholder projects that are due to be completed in the first half of 2025. We will therefore defer the biennial external review to mid-2025 to request stakeholder feedback on our performance. The annual self assessment will still be undertaken and available in the Annual Report 2023-24

Our fee framework governs how our costs are recovered from the organisations we regulate.
The fee framework was reviewed in November 2023.
We engage auditors to review the application of the fee framework and associated costing model each year. The QCA has expanded the scope of the annual audit to include sample-based testing of the costs charged to individual regulatory services or functions.
Grant Thornton was engaged to undertake these reviews.
