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.
The PHN has been working on reducing the burden of reporting for Commissioned Services. Part of this project was the introduction of a consistent validated Participant Reported Experience Measure (PREM) administered by Cemplicity, who will administer, collate and report the YES PHN Survey. Commissioned services are in the process of adopting this as new process.
Cemplicity has a dedicated Help Centre available to support commissioned services work with the YES PHN Survey data. A range of data is available in the Cemplicity Dashboard based on survey responses that are received, but navigating the dashboard to fully access and understand the data may sometimes be a challenge.
