Planning, Budgeting and Financial Reporting Frameworks

The Resource Management Framework (RMF) is the framework that underpins budgeting and financial management in the State of Victoria.

Departments are required to apply this framework under the Standing Directions 2018 under the Financial Management Act 1994 (Directions). This includes the compliance with the mandatory requirements within the framework, and public attestation of compliance in annual reports.

DTF will continue to review the contents of the Resource Management Framework as policies evolve and change. Departments will be notified when this occurs.
