VICTORIAN STATISTICS ADVISORY FORUM (VSAF)
The purpose of Victorian Statistics Advisory Forum is to act as the key collaborative forum for consultation between the Victorian Government and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) with the aim of furthering the use of statistics and developing statistical capability across Victoria.
The Victorian Statistics Advisory Forum's objectives are to:
- strategically and collaboratively determine the statistical needs that support Victorian whole-of-government policy priorities to provide clear direction to the broader ABS and the State and Territory Statistical Services forward work program;
- promote the value and effective use of quality statistical information and infrastructure to support evidence based policy decisions; and
- encourage dialogue within and across State Government agencies to develop and share information on statistical developments and to disseminate statistical best practice.
