Framework Dimensions

Rationale

Median waiting time is an indicator of NSW Government's objective to provide services that are timely.

Waiting time is defined as the time waited by households that are newly allocated social housing in the reference period, and is reported for two housing applicant types:

  • priority applicants – time waited is measured from acceptance as a household in greatest need onto a social housing wait list and allocation of a dwelling
  • general applicants – time waited is measured from acceptance onto a social housing wait list and allocation of a dwelling.

A low or decreasing time waited is desirable.

Alignment: This aligns with national reporting in Report on Government Services (RoGS).
