An important change is coming soon regarding financial reporting requirements for Contracted/Commissioned Service Providers.
Currently, PHN Contracted/Commissioned Service Providers are required to submit audited financial statements, which are generally due in October. This requirement will be changed to the submission of an unaudited financial summary, which will now be due in mid-August.
This change is intended to streamline and simplify the financial reporting process, allowing for the timely review of underspend/surplus, rollover requests, and contract renewals.
More information will be provided in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please reach out to the PHN Contracts Team or your Commissioning Coordinator with any questions.

Accurate data and reporting into the Primary Mental Health Minimum Dataset (PMHC-MDS) remains essential to demonstrate good performance. Significant improvements have recently been acknowledged by the Department of Health & Aged Care, but collated data from across the region has identified that opportunities still exist to achieve the mandatory 70% threshold in Indicator Out-3.
Reducing the burden of reporting for commissioned services was a commitment the PHN made after the provider satisfaction survey was completed in 2022. Since then, significant work has occurred to streamline reporting and provide a line of sight to performance measures that the Department of Health and Aged Care use to monitor PHNs’ performance.
As a Commissioned Service for HNECC PHN your organisation has access to a variety of videos & webinars to support you to understand, collate and report on the valuable feedback you are collecting via the YES Survey. The use of short video clips (or microlearning) allows for more efficient processing and memory recall.
