FRDC reports on performance across all aspects of the business. Our reporting requirements can arise from legislation (e.g. PIRD and PGPA Acts), agreements and general practice of good governance such as the Australian Institute of Company Directors guidelines.
Performance reporting is undertaken at different intervals, from monthly financial statements through to annual whole of agency reporting. The key documents and work relating to performance reporting can be found here:
- Annual Reports
- ANAO Probity Management in RDCs (Report No.21 of 2019-20)
- Benefit Cost Analyses
- Financial statements
- FRDC Stakeholder Surveys
- Corporate Reporting Obligations
- Indigenous Reconciliation Statement of Intent - Performance Report May 2025

FRDC Monitoring & Evaluation Framework
The FRDC Performance Framework 2025-30 outlines the framework for defining and detecting performance for the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) over the life of the next 2025-2030 Research Development & Extension Plan (the Plan). This framework integrates regulatory and Board requirements and aims to instil an evaluative mindset from the outset of the RD&E Plan's life cycle.
FRDC's annual performance review with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
As a part of FRDC’s annual performance evaluation, we meet with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) to present and discuss how we have met our key performance indicators under our statutory funding agreement. This includes demonstrating our activities and indicators towards achieving impact, how we are engaging with our stakeholders and how we are meeting our governance requirements. This discussion supports FRDC’s annual report, and provides an opportunity to consider practical continuous improvement for the following year.
