1.4 Process for development of the NOSPI indicators Comprehensive reporting against the NOSPI sets an ambitious task for jurisdictions, agencies and services over the medium to long-term. During 2016, the Commonwealth, in consultation with jurisdictions, worked collaboratively to develop draft indicators to measure outcomes across the NOSPI. The indicators were developed following a review of available data and other reporting information from women’s safety, health, justice and corrections agencies and after consultation with government agencies and non–government service providers. Available data from each jurisdiction were mapped against each Headline Standard. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) undertook rigorous analysis of these data to develop an initial set of 27 potential national indicators, which could possibly be reported on within the current limitations of data (see Table 1.1). The majority of indicators are output indicators. Table 1.1: Summary of NOSPI indicators The six indicators reported against in this report are highlighted in green.
