Notes

  1. The target for the accuracy of essential fields was 100 percent between 2015-16 and 2017-18. The target for the accuracy of supporting fields was 99.5 percent between 2015-16 and 2017-18.
  2. Quality results for 2015-16 are for the period 1 July 2015 to 15 December 2015 as the process was suspended leading to the 2016 Federal Election.
  3. Quality results for 2016-17 are for the period 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017.
  4. Quality results for 2017-18 are for the period 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018.
  5. Quality results for 2018-19 are for the period 1 April 2018 to 30 September 2018 as the process was suspended leading to the 2019 Federal Election.
  6. Quality results for 2019-20 are for the period 1 November 2019 to 31 March 2020 due to the suspension of the program associated with the 2019 Federal Election. Processing timeliness for 2019-20 was below target as a result of a significant amount of paper enrolment forms received and processed at and after the 2019 Federal Election.
