Using the Government Provider Management System

Learn about how your aged care organisation can access and use the Government Provider Management System (GPMS).

Accessing GPMS

GPMS is used by all aged care registered providers including Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Program (NATSIFACP) providers.

Registered providers can access reporting applications and update business information.

There are 2 GPMS portals:

1. Registered provider portal to complete mandatory reporting and manage organisation details under the Aged Care Act 2024.

Log in to GPMS Registered Provider portal

2. Approved provider portal to provide information and functionality relating to entities that existed under the Aged Care Act 1997.

Log in to GPMS Approved Provider portal

Reporting applications on GPMS

Residential aged care providers can:

Support at Home providers can:

  • submit provider operations reporting
  • submit Quarterly Financial Report (QFR) information
  • access finance and operations previews.

You can learn more in our guide to digital changes for providers.

Adding new organisation administrators to GPMS

The organisation administrator can create new users and assign the organisation administrator role to other users in their organisation.

To remove organisation administrators, call the My Aged Care service provider and assessor helpline on 1800 836 799.

Managing users in GPMS portals

Organisation administrators are responsible for managing user access within the approved provider portal and the registered provider portal.

If a user leaves the organisation, or their portal access is disabled, the organisation administrator must remove access from both portals using the ‘Manage users’ function in GPMS.

Manage Your Organisation tile

The Manage Your Organisation tile in the registered provider portal makes it easier for you to interact with us.

Registered providers can view information about their organisation’s:

  • regulatory category
  • service information, which aligns to Support at Home, residential aged care beds and enables payments
  • associated provider information, from reported third-party organisations’ personnel and user roles nominated in GPMS.

The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission is responsible for registration activities for registered providers.

For information on viewing performance and compliance information in the Performance and Star Ratings tile in the registered provider portal, please refer to the User Guide for accessing Star Ratings, Quality Standards and regulatory decisions.
