The report on government services (RoGS) provides information on the equity, effectiveness and efficiency of government services in Australia. This report provides performance reporting for aged care services, services for people with disability, child protection services and youth justice services. It includes a summary of government expenditure in the sector.

In the context of government service delivery, 'community services' include services providing assistance to specific groups with an identified need for additional support. This may include children and young people, families, older people and people with disability. Community services can overlap with other sectors, including health, education, housing and homelessness and early childhood services.

Total government expenditure for the community services in this report was around $103.9 billion in 2024-25, a real increase of 75% over the past six years, primarily due to increases in expenditure on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). 

The report is provided with data table and a guide on how to find what you need in RoGS.
