Background

For administrative and efficiency purposes, the Department of Health and Ageing is offering funded organisations a single funding agreement.

You currently have a Head Agreement for Multi-Project Funding issued by OATSIH. An OATSIH Projects Schedule for Commonwealth HACC funding is being offered to you which will operate under this Head Agreement.

Arrangements regarding your Liaison Officer, reporting and other obligations under your Head Agreement will remain unchanged.

• reporting against the HACC Minimum Data Set;
• providing Output Variation Reports where there are significant differences between funded and delivered services;
• complying with the Commonwealth HACC complaints mechanisms and processes; and
• complying with conditions on the use of the Commonwealth HACC logo.

Detailed information on the above can be found in the Commonwealth HACC Program Manual for Service Providers Receiving Commonwealth HACC Funding through the Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Projects Schedule under the Head Agreement for Multi Project Funding which is available on the Aged Care Portal (www.ebiz.agedcare.gov.au).
