User guide
PHC RIS, on behalf of Department of Health and Ageing, has also developed a User Guide to guide Divisions through the stages of producing their Agreement Plans, Annual Plans, 6 Month Progress Reports and 12 Month Reports. It also provides instructions on how to submit these plans and reports to your State and Territory Office (S/TO) for approval, and to PHC RIS when required.

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). A Planning and Reporting working group (PRWG), led by the PHC RIS, was formed to design the structure and content of the planning and reporting document(s) to be used by Division Network members as part of this new planning and reporting system. The working group consisted of members from the Divisions network, previous BMAG participants, State and Territory Office and Central Office (CO) Department of Health and Ageing representatives and PHC RIS staff.
The final content and structure of the first Planning and Reporting Pro forma was built on the PRWG experience of what works for them and how they do things. The Planning and Reporting pro forma is an information collection tool developed with flexibility in mind. It allows adaptability for Department of Health and Ageing and for Divisions’ internal use, while making the processing of information easy for contract management and assessment. The tool will also allow the collection and public display of information by an independent organisation.
Divisions use this Pro forma to produce their Agreement Plans, Annual Plans, 6 Month Progress Reports and 12 Month Reports.
The 12 Month Report should be a compilation of all information from 1 July to 30 June.
