Basis of payments

Basis of National Health Reform payments – States and Territories

To meet the reporting requirements of Section 240 of the National Health Reform Act 2011(Opens in a new tab/window), the Administrator's monthly reports are to include the basis of each State and Territory's NHR funding and payments to Local Hospital Networks (LHNs). The basis of each State and Territory's NHR funding and payments for each year is provided below.

This information will enable comparisons over time within and between LHNs, and between State and Territories, whether these are variations in:

  • Price
  • Movements between Activity-Based Funding service categories
  • Demographic adjustments applied
  • Amounts of Block Funding paid for the relevant block components
  • Changes to State or Territory methodology
  • Any other reason.
