- working with Central Agencies to provide Ministers with advice on the delivery and performance of Public Service agencies, including supporting the delivery of the Government's targets and implementation of Performance Plans
- engaging with Crown entity boards, chairs and monitoring agencies on good practice governance, performance and monitoring
- working with cross Commission teams in other areas led by the Commission, including machinery of government, workforce and integrity matters.
