Completing the Annual Plans, 6 & 12 month Reports
The Divisions Network is asked to use the on-line Planning & Reporting tool, which is available through the Division Information Online System.
Set up to streamline the NQPS requirements, the on-line system allows:
- The Division Network to enter and submit their plans and reports to their relevant Department of Health and Ageing State/Territory Office (STO)
- STOs to assess and approve submitted plans and reports
- On-line public viewing of reports once more than 50% have been approved

about the framework
The Review Implementation Committee (RIC), in a meeting on 3 November 2004, agreed on a model for the implementation of a new planning and reporting framework for the Divisions Network, as an integral component of the National Quality and Performance System (NQPS). The changed reporting requirements under the NQPS which included a structured set of National Performance Indicators (NPIs) were introduced for the 2005-06 period. The Divisions Network use the NPIs to produce their Annual Plans, 6 Month Progress Reports and 12 Month Reports. The 12 Month Report is a compilation of all information from 1 July to 30 June.
Initially reporting in Word format, the system moved on-line in February 2007. For more information on this move see the NQPS Planning & Reporting moving on-line webpage. The establishment of this on-line reporting mechanism allows for easier collection and faster public display of information.
In 2008 the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing revised a new set of National Performance Indicators (NPIs) under the NQPS which captures data from four focus areas: Access, Prevention, Chronic Disease Management and Uptake of National Initiatives. These new NPIs came in to effect for the 2008-09 reporting period.
For more information on the NQPS Planning and Reporting Framework please visit the Government Department of Health and Ageing website.
INDICATOR DETAILS
At the core of the planning and reporting framework is a set of National Performance Indicators (NPIs). The technical details for the upcoming or previous years NPIs can be downloaded from the Program Planning and Reporting Support – Technical Details page.

VIEWING PLANS AND REPORTS
Reports are open to public viewing after more than 50% have been approved. You can use the on-line tool to view aggregates and elements of the latest publicly available reports. To view all available plans and reports please visit the Activities of Divisions page on the PHC RIS website.
Under the reporting requirements the Division Network is also asked to complete the Annual Survey of Divisions. PHC RIS has been contracted by the Government Department of Health and Ageing to conduct this survey since 1997-98. Data from the ASD is presented in a variety of formats to provide valuable information regarding Divisions' activities.
