Recently PHC RIS has had agreement from the Department of Health and Ageing that the 2005-06 12 Month Reports be made publicly available on the PHC RIS website. This valuable information is not only useful for accountability purposes between the individual Division/SBO and the Department but also from a learning point of view for a variety of stakeholders, including other Divisions, other policy makers, AGPN, researchers and many others in the health sector.
2005-06 is the first reporting period that the Divisions and State Based Organisations (SBOs) completed under the NQPS Planning & Reporting framework. To learn more about this framework visit <www.phcris.org.au/infobytes/div_framework/>. For this cycle the Reports were completed using a Microsoft Word document. For subsequent 12 Month Reports, Divisions and SBOs have the option of completing their Report using an online tool. This allows for more interactive options, allowing users to select what specific information they want to view. Further details on this new Display Component can be found at <www.phcris.org.au/publications/infonet/2007/june/div.php>.
At the time of writing this article, PHC RIS was preparing these 2005-06 12 Month Reports to be made available on the PHC RIS website. See the status, and possibly the contents, of these Reports by visiting <www.phcris.org.au/divisions/>.
