RDHS continues to pursue excellence in the areas of governance, management, continuous improvement and service delivery to you, our community.

8 Robinvale District Health Services Annual Report 2017 C It gives us great pleasure to provide a report on behalf of the Board of Management and staff of the Robinvale District Health Services. This report would not be possible without the commitment of all those people involved that together make up the team of staff , medical offi cers and volunteers that support the health service to provide its many and varied programs to our unique multicultural community.

This year we continue to deliver many services to our community in a responsible and engaging manner. The health service also continues to perform from a stable and sound fi nancial base which is essential to sustain it into the future. The members of the Board of Management continue to work together with the staff, in a strong partnership, to develop and deliver a unique and diverse health care program to complement our community with a focus upon service improvement and quality.

We are continuing to work upon the new Strategic Plan and are in the process of gathering information from the communities we serve about their health needs and their thoughts about the future. This process will take some time as the Board of Management would like to better understand what it is that the community think about the health service and what they would like to see improve. This must be matched however with the direction and policy framework of health from both a state and commonwealth government perspective an ever changing and fl uid environment. During this process however, RDHS continues to pursue excellence in the areas of governance, management, continuous improvement and service delivery to you, our community.

We welcome this year a new Board member, Alison Black, who has brought a new dynamic to the governing committee with a strong background in a range of skill areas. There has been no members leave the Board this year.

Comprehensive Operating Statement

Balance Sheet

Appendix A – 5 Year Financial Comparison

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Robinvale District Health Service

Opinion I have audited the financial report of Robinvale District Health Service (the health service) which comprises the:

balance sheet as at 30 June 2017 comprehensive operating statement for the year then ended statement of changes in equity for the year then ended cash flow statement for the year then ended notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies board member's, accountable officers and chief finance & accounting officer's declaration. In my opinion the financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the health service as at 30 June 2017 and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the financial reporting requirements of Part 7 of the Financial Management Act 1994 and applicable Australian Accounting Standards.

Basis for I have conducted my audit in accordance with the Audit Act 1994 which incorporates the Opinion Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under the Act are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of my report. My independence is established by the Constitution Act 1975. My staff and I are independent of the health service in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to my audit of the financial report in Australia. My staff and I have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.

Board’s The Board of the health service is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of responsibilities the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Financial for the Management Act 1994, and for such internal control as the Board determines is necessary financial to enable the preparation and fair presentation of a financial report that is free from report material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Board is responsible for assessing the health service’s ability to continue as a going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is inappropriate to do so.

Auditor’s As required by the Audit Act 1994, my responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial responsibilities report based on the audit. My objectives for the audit are to obtain reasonable assurance for the audit about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether of the financial due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable report assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also:

identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the health service’s internal control evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board conclude on the appropriateness of the Board’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the health service’s ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the health service to cease to continue as a going concern. evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. I communicate with the Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.

4 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 BASIS OF PRESENTATION These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and the historical cost convention is used unless a different measurement basis is specifically disclosed in the note associated with the item measured on a different basis.

The accrual basis of accounting has been applied in the preparation of these financial statements whereby assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Consistent with the requirements of AASB 1004 Contributions (that is contributed capital and its repayment) are treated as equity transactions and, therefore, do not form part of the income and expenses of the hospital.

Additions to net assets which have been designated as contributions by owners are recognised as contributed capital. Other transfers that are in the nature of contributions to or distributions by owners have also been designated as contributions by owners.

Transfers of net assets arising from administrative restructurings are treated as distributions to or contribution by owners. Transfer of net liabilities arising from administrative restructurings are treated as distribution to owners.

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about financial information being presented. The significant judgements made in the preparation of these financial statements are disclosed in the notes where amounts affected by those judgements are disclosed. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on professional judgements derived from historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods that are affected by the revision. Judgements and assumptions made by management in the application of AASs that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates relate to: • The fair value of land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment, (refer to Note 7.1); • Superannuation expense (refer to Note 3.4); • Actuarial assumptions for employee benefit provisions based on likely tenure of existing staff, patterns of leave claims, future salary movements and future discount rates (refer to Note 3.3); and

NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These annual financial statements represent the audited general purpose financial statements for Robinvale District Health Services (ABN 58 413 230 512) for the period ending 30 June 2017. The purpose of the report is to provide users with information about the Health Services’ stewardship of resources entrusted to it.

(a) Statement of compliance These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Management Act 1994 and applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AASs), which include interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). They are presented in a manner consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements .

The financial statements also comply with relevant Financial Reporting Directions (FRDs) issued by the Department of Treasury and Finance, and relevant Standing Directions (SDs) authorised by the Minister for Finance.

The Health Service is a not-for profit entity and therefore applies the additional Aus paragraphs applicable to “not-for-profit” Health Services under the AASs.

The annual financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Robinvale District Health Service on 30/08/2017

(b) Reporting Entity The financial statements includes all the controlled activities of Robinvale District Health Services. Its principal address is: 128-132 Latje Road Robinvale Victoria 3549.

5 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

A description of the nature of Robinvale District Health Services' operations and its principal activities is included in the report of operations, which does not form part of these financial statements.

Objectives and funding Robinvale District Health Services' overall objective is to be a leader in rural healthcare, providing a consumer-centred, multi- disciplinary service responding to the needs of the community, as well as improve the quality of life to Victorians.

Robinvale District Health Services is predominantly funded by accrual based grant funding for the provision of outputs.

(c) Basis of accounting preparation and measurement Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017, and the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The going concern basis was used to prepare the financial statements.

These financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, the functional and presentation currency of the Health Service.

The financial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis, items are recognised as assets, liabilities, equity, income or expenses when they satisfy the definitions and recognition criteria for those items, that is they are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for:

• Non-current physical assets, which subsequent to acquisition, are measured at a revalued amount being their fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent impairment losses. Revaluations are made and are re-assessed when new indices are published by the Valuer General to ensure that the carrying amounts do not materially differ from their fair values; • The fair value of assets other than land is generally based on their depreciated replacement value.

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on professional judgements derived from historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods that are affected by the revision. Judgements and assumptions made by management in the application of AASBs that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates relate to:

• The fair value of land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment, (refer to Note 7.4); • Superannuation expense (refer to Note 3.4); • Actuarial assumptions for employee benefit provisions based on likely tenure of existing staff, patterns of leave claims, future salary movements and future discount rates (refer to Note 3.3); and • Equities and management investment schemes classified at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(d) Principles of Consolidation Intersegment Transactions Transactions between segments within Robinvale District Health Service have been eliminated to reflect the extent of Robinvale District Health Services operations as a group.

Expenses are recognised as they are incurred and reported in the financial year to which they relate.

Cost of goods sold Costs of goods sold are recognised when the sale of an item occurs by transferring the cost or value of the item/s from inventories.

12 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 3.1: ANALYSIS OF EXPENSE BY SOURCE (Continued) Employee expenses Employee expenses include: • Wages and salaries; • Fringe Benefits Tax; • Leave Entitlements; • Termination Payments; • Work cover Premiums; and • Superannuation expenses which are reported differently depending upon whether employees are members of defined benefit or defined contribution plans.

Grants and Other Transfers Grants and other transfers to third parties (other than contribution to owners) are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which they are paid or payable. They include transactions such as: grants, subsidies and personal benefit payments made in cash to individuals.

Other Operating Expenses Other operating expenses generally represent the day-to-day running costs incurred in normal operations and include:

Supplies and Consumables Supplies and service costs which are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which they are incurred. The carrying amounts of any inventories held for distribution are expenses when distributed.

Bad and Doubtful Debts Refer to Note 4.1 Investments and other financial assets.

Fair value of assets, services and resources provided free of charge or for nominal consideration Contributions of resources provided free of charge or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when the transferee obtains control over them, irrespective of whether restrictions or conditions are imposed over the use of the contributions, unless received from another agency as a consequence of a restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, such a transfer will be recognised at it's carrying value. Contributions in the form of services are only recognised when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if not donated.

Borrowing costs of qualifying assets In accordance with the paragraphs of AASB 123 Borrowing Costs applicable to not-for-profit public sector entities, the Health Service continues to recognise borrowing costs immediately as an expense, to the extent that they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.

Other economic flows are changes in the volume or value of assets or liabilities that do not result from transactions.

Net gain/ (loss) on non-financial assets Net gain/ (loss) on non-financial assets and liabilities includes realised and unrealised gains and losses as follows:

Revaluation gains/ (losses) of non-financial physical assets. Refer to Note 4.3 Property plant and equipment.

Net gain/ (loss) on disposal of non-financial assets Any gain or loss on the disposal of non-financial assets is recognised at the date of disposal and is the difference between the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset at the time.

Net gain/ (loss) on financial instruments Net gain/ (loss) on financial instruments includes: • realised and unrealised gains and losses from revaluations of financial instruments at fair value; • impairment and reversal of impairment for financial instruments at amortised cost. Refer to Note 4.1 Investments and other financial assets; and • disposals of financial assets and derecognition of financial liabilities

13 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 3.1: ANALYSIS OF EXPENSE BY SOURCE (Continued) Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (and intangible assets not available for use) are tested annually for impairment and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Refer to Note 4.1 Investments and other financial assets.

Revaluations of financial instrument at fair value Refer to Note 7.1 Financial instruments.

Other gains/ (losses) from other economic flows Other gains/ (losses) include: • the revaluation of the present value of the long service leave liability due to changes in the bond rate movements, inflation rate movements and the impact of changes in probability factors; and • transfer of amounts from the reserves to accumulated surplus or net result due to disposal or derecognition or reclassification.

Derecognition of financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised as an expense in the consolidated comprehensive operating statement.

Balance at end of year 1,384 1,490

Provisions are recognised when the Health Service has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the time value of money and risks specific to the provision.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be received from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Employee Benefits This provision arises for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave for services rendered to the reporting date.

Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Accrued Days Off Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave are all recognised in the provision for employee benefits as ‘current liabilities’, because the health service does not have an unconditional right to defer settlements of these liabilities.

Depending on the expectation of the timing of settlement, liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave are measured at: • Undiscounted value – if the health service expects to wholly settle within 12 months; or • Present value – if the health service does not expect to wholly settle within 12 months.

Long Service Leave (LSL) Liability for LSL is recognised in the provision for employee benefits.

Unconditional LSL is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as a current liability, even where the health service does not expect to settle the liability within 12 months because it will not have the unconditional right to defer the settlement of the entitlement should an employee take leave within 12 months. An unconditional right arises after a qualifying period.

The components of this current LSL liability are measured at: • Undiscounted value – if the health service expects to wholly settle within 12 months; or • Present value – where the entity does not expect to settle a component of this current liability within 12 months.

Conditional LSL is disclosed as a non-current liability. There is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the entitlement until the employee has completed the requisite years of service. This non-current LSL liability is measured at present value.

Any gain or loss followed revaluation of the present value of non-current LSL liability is recognised as a transaction, except to the extent that a gain or loss arises due to changes in estimations e.g. bond rate movements, inflation rate movements and changes in probability factors which are then recognised as other economic flow.

Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or when an employee decides to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment.

The health service recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.

On-Costs related to employee expense Provision for on-costs, such as payroll tax, workers compensation and superannuation are recognised together with provisions for employee benefits.

16 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 3.4: SUPERANNUATION

Paid Contributions Outstanding Contributions Fund for the year at Year End 2017 2016 2017 2016 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 (i) Defined Benefit Plans: First State Super 30 33 0 0

Defined Contribution Plans: First State Super 778 755 0 0 HESTA 67 52 0 0 (i) The basis of determining the level of contributions is determined by the various actuaries of the defined benefit superannuation plans.

Employees of the Health Service are entitled to receive superannuation benefits and the Health Service contributes to both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plan(s) provides benefits based on years of service and final average salary.

The Health Service does not recognise any defined benefit liability in respect of the plan(s) because the entity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay future benefits relating to its employees; its only obligation is to pay superannuation contributions as they fall due. The Department of Treasury and Finance discloses the State's defined benefits liabilities in tis disclosure for administered items.

However, superannuation contributions paid or payable for the reporting period are included as part of employee benefits in the comprehensive operating statement of the Health Service. The name, details and amounts expense in relation to the major employee superannuation funds and contributions made by the Health Services are as follows:

Defined contribution superannuation plans In relation to defined contribution (i.e. accumulation) superannuation plans, the associated expense is simply the employer contributions that are paid or payable in respect of employees who are members of these plans during the reporting period. Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

Defined benefit superannuation plans The amount charged to the comprehensive operating statement in respect of defined benefit superannuation plans represents the contributions made by the Health Service to the superannuation plans in respect of the services of current Health Service staff during the reporting period. Superannuation contributions are made to the plans based on the relevant rules of each plan, and are based upon actuarial advice.

Employees of Robinvale District Health Service are entitled to receive superannuation benefits and Robinvale District Health Service contributes to both the defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plan(s) provide benefits based on years of service and final average salary.

The name and details of the major employee superannuation funds and contributions made by Robinvale District Health Service are disclosed in Note 3.4: Superannuation.

Superannuation liabilities Robinvale District Health Service does not recognise any unfunded defined benefit liability in respect of the superannuation plans because the Health Service has no legal or constructive obligation to pay future benefits relating to its employees; its only obligation is to pay superannuation contributions as they fall due.

Investments and other financial assets Health service investments must be in accordance in Standing Direction 3.7.2 – Treasury and Investment Risk Management. Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Investments are classified in the following categories: • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; • held-to-maturity; • loans and receivables; and • available-for-sale financial assets.

Robinvale District Health Service classifies its other financial assets between current and non-current assets based on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its other financial assets at initial recognition.

Robinvale District Health Service assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

All financial assets, except those measured at fair value through profit or loss are subject to annual review for impairment.

Derecognition of financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when: • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or • the Health Service retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or • the Health Service has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either: (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Health Service has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or transferred control, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Health Service's continuing involvement in the asset.

Impairment of financial assets At the end of each reporting period, the Department assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. All financial instrument assets, except those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to annual review for impairment.

The allowance is the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. In assessing impairment of statutory (non-contractual) financial assets, which are not financial instruments, professional judgement is applied in assessing materiality using estimates, averages and other computational methods in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.

Doubtful debts Receivables are assessed for bad and doubtful debts on a regular basis. Those bad debts considered as written off by mutual consent are classified as a transaction expense. Bad debts not written off by mutual consent and the allowance for doubtful debts are classified as other economic flows in the net result.

Land and buildings carried at valuation An independent valuation of the Health Service's property, plant and equipment was performed by the Valuer-General Victoria to determine the value of the land and buildings. The valuation, which conforms to Australian Valuation Standards, was determined by reference to the amounts for which assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The valuation was based on independent assessments. The effective date of the valuation is 30 June 2014.

Consistent with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, Robinvale District Health Service determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurements such as property, plant and equipment, investment properties and financial instruments, and for non-recurring fair value measurements such as non-financial physical assets held for sale, in accordance with the requirements of AASB 13 and the relevant FRDs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: • Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable • Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

22 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 4.3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Robinvale District Health Service has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

In addition, Robinvale District Health Service determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Valuer-General Victoria (VGV) is Robinvale District Health Service's independent valuation agency.

Robinvale District Health Service, in conjunction with VGV monitors the changes in the fair value of each asset and liability through relevant data sources to determine whether revaluation is required.

Fair value measurement Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the following assumptions: • that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market (or the most advantageous market, in the absence of the principal market), either of which must be accessible to the Health Service at the measurement date; • that the Health Service uses the same valuation assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

Consideration of highest and best use (HBU) for non-financial physical assets Judgements about highest and best use must take into account the characteristics of the assets concerned, including restrictions on the use and disposal of assets arising from the asset’s physical nature and any applicable legislative/contractual arrangements. In considering the HBU for non-financial physical assets, valuers are probably best placed to determine highest and best use (HBU) in consultation with Health Services. Health Services and their valuers therefore need to have a shared understanding of the circumstances of the assets. A Health Service has to form its own view about a valuer’s determination, as it is ultimately responsible for what is presented in its audited financial statements.

In accordance with paragraph AASB 13.29, Health Services can assume the current use of a non-financial physical asset is its HBU unless market or other factors suggest that a different use by market participants would maximise the value of the asset. Therefore, an assessment of the HBU will be required when the indicators are triggered within a reporting period, which suggest the market participants would have perceived an alternative use of an asset that can generate maximum value. Once identified, Health Services are required to engage with VGV or other independent valuers for formal HBU assessment.

These indicators, as a minimum, include: External factors: • Changed acts, regulations, local law or such instrument which affects or may affect the use or development of the asset; • Changes in planning scheme, including zones, reservations, overlays that would affect or remove the restrictions imposed on the asset’s use from its past use; • Evidence that suggest the current use of an asset is no longer core to requirements to deliver a Health Service’s service obligation; • Evidence that suggests that the asset might be sold or demolished at reaching the late stage of an asset’s life cycle.

In addition, Health Services need to assess the HBU as part of the 5-year review of fair value of non-financial physical assets. This is consistent with the current requirements on FRD 103F Non-financial physical assets and FRD 107B Investment properties.

23 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 4.3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) Valuation hierarchy Health Services need to use valuation techniques that are appropriate for the circumstances and where there is sufficient data available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy. It is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: • Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; • Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

Identifying unobservable inputs (level 3) fair value measurements Level 3 fair value inputs are unobservable valuation inputs for an asset or liability. These inputs require significant judgement and assumptions in deriving fair value for both financial and non-financial assets.

Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, i.e., an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. Therefore, unobservable inputs shall reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

24 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 4.3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) Assumptions about risk include the inherent risk in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing risk model) and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. A measurement that does not include an adjustment for risk would not represent a fair value measurement if market participants would include one when pricing the asset or liability i.e., it might be necessary to include a risk adjustment when there is significant measurement uncertainty. For example, when there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and the Health Service has determined that the transaction price or quoted price does not represent fair value.

A Health Service shall develop unobservable inputs using the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Health Service’s own data. In developing unobservable inputs, a Health Service may begin with its own data, but it shall adjust this data if reasonably available information indicates that other market participants would use different data or there is something particular to the Health Service that is not available to other market participants. A Health Service need not undertake exhaustive efforts to obtain information about other market participant assumptions. However, a Health Service shall take into account all information about market participant assumptions that is reasonably available. Unobservable inputs developed in the manner described above are considered market participant assumptions and meet the object of a fair value measurement.

Non-specialised land and non-specialised buildings Non-specialised land and non-specialised buildings are valued using the market approach. Under this valuation method, the assets are compared to recent comparable sales or sales of comparable assets which are considered to have nominal or no added improvement value.

For non-specialised land and non-specialised buildings, an independent valuation was performed by the Valuer-General Victoria to determine the fair value using the market approach. Valuation of the assets was determined by analysing comparable sales and allowing for share, size, topography, location and other relevant factors specific to the asset being valued. An appropriate rate per square metre has been applied to the subject asset. The effective date of the valuation is 30 June 2014.

To the extent that non-specialised land and non-specialised buildings do not contain significant, unobservable adjustments, these assets are classified as Level 2 under the market approach.

Specialised land and specialised buildings The market approach is used for specialised land and specialised buildings although is adjusted for the community service obligation (CSO) to reflect the specialised nature of the assets being valued. Specialised assets contain significant, unobservable adjustments; therefore these assets are classified as Level 3 under the market based direct comparison approach.

The CSO adjustment is a reflection of the valuer’s assessment of the impact of restrictions associated with an asset to the extent that is also equally applicable to market participants. This approach is in light of the highest and best use consideration required for fair value measurement, and takes into account the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. As adjustments of CSO are considered as significant unobservable inputs, specialised land would be classified as Level 3 assets.

For the health service, the depreciated replacement cost method is used for the majority of specialised buildings, adjusting for the associated depreciation. As depreciation adjustments are considered as significant and unobservable inputs in nature, specialised buildings are classified as Level 3 for fair value measurements.

An independent valuation of the Health Service’s specialised land and specialised buildings was performed by the Valuer-General Victoria. The valuation was performed using the market approach adjusted for CSO. The effective date of the valuation is 30 June 2014.

Vehicles The Health Service acquires new vehicles and at times disposes of them before completion of their economic life. The process of acquisition, use and disposal in the market is managed by the Health Service who set relevant depreciation rates during use to reflect the consumption of the vehicles. As a result, the fair value of vehicles does not differ materially from the carrying value (depreciated cost).

Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is held at carrying value (depreciated cost). When plant and equipment is specialised in use, such that it is rarely sold other than as part of a going concern, the depreciated replacement cost is used to estimate the fair value. Unless there is market evidence that current replacement costs are significantly different from the original acquisition cost, it is considered unlikely that depreciated replacement cost will be materially different from the existing carrying value.

There were no changes in valuation techniques throughout the period to 30 June 2017.

For all assets measured at fair value, the current use is considered the highest and best use.

Refer to Note 7.4 for guidance on fair value measurement indicative expectations.

Property, Plant and Equipment All non-current physical assets are measured initially at cost and subsequently revalued at fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Where an asset is acquired for no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value at the date of acquisition. Assets transferred as part of a merger / machinery of government are transferred at their carrying amount.

More details about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of non-financial physical assets are discussed in Note 4.3 Property, plant and equipment.

The initial cost for non-financial physical assets under finance lease is measured at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease.

26 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 4.3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) Crown Land is measured at fair value with regard to the property's highest and best use after due or consideration is made for any legal or physical restrictions imposed on the asset, public announcements or commitments made in relation to the intended use of the asset. Theoretical opportunities that may be available in relation to the asset(s) are not taken into account until it is virtually certain that any restriction will no longer apply. Therefore, unless otherwise disclosed, the current use of these non-financial physical assets will be their highest and best uses.

Land and Buildings are recognised initially at cost and subsequently measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Plant, Equipment and Vehicles are recognised initially at cost and subsequently measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciated historical cost is generally a reasonable proxy for depreciated replacement cost because of the short lives of the assets concerned.

Leasehold improvements The cost of a leasehold improvement is capitalised as an asset and depreciated over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Revaluations of non-current physical assets Non-Current physical assets are measured at fair value and are revalued in accordance with FRD 103F Non-current physical assets. This revaluation process normally occurs at least every five years, based upon the asset's Government Purpose Classification but may occur more frequently if fair value assessments indicate material changes in values. Independent valuers are used to conduct these scheduled revaluations and any interim revaluations are determined in accordance with the requirements of the FRDs. Revaluation increments or decrements arise from differences between an asset's carrying value and fair value.

Revaluation increments are recognised in 'other comprehensive income' and are credited directly to the asset revaluation surplus except that, to the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of that same class of asset previously recognised as an expense in net result, the increment is recognised as income in the net result.

Revaluation decrements are recognised in 'other comprehensive income' to the extent that a credit balance exists in the asset revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of property, plant and equipment.

Revaluation increases and revaluation decreases relating to individual assets within an asset class are offset against one another within that class but are not offset in respect of assets in different classes.

Revaluation surplus is not transferred to accumulated funds on derecognition of the relevant asset.

In accordance with FRD 103F Robinvale District Health Services' non-current physical assets were assessed to determine whether revaluation of the non-current physical assets was required.

Total Depreciation 1,134 1,111

All infrastructure assets, buildings, plant and equipment and other non-financial physical assets that have finite useful lives are depreciated (i.e. excludes land assets held for sale, and investment properties). Depreciation begins when the asset is available for use, which is when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management.

Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight line basis, at a rate that allocates the asset value, less any estimated residual value over its estimated useful life. Estimates of the remaining useful lives, residual value and depreciation method for all assets are reviewed at least annually and adjustments made as appropriate. This depreciation charge is not funded by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Assets with a cost in excess of $1,000 are capitalised and depreciation has been provided on depreciable assets so as to allocate their cost or valuation over their estimated useful lives.

27 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 4.4: DEPRECIATION (Continued) The following table indicates the expected useful lives of non current assets on which the depreciation charges are based.

As part of the buildings valuation, building values were separated into components and each component assessed for its useful life which is represented above.

Intangible produced assets with finite lives are depreciated as an expense on a systematic basis over the asset's useful life.

30 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 5.1: RECEIVABLES (Continued) Receivables consist of: • Contractual receivables, which includes of mainly debtors in relation to goods and services, loans to third parties, accrued investment income, and finance lease receivables; and • Statutory receivables, which includes predominantly amounts owing from the Victorian Government and Goods and Services Tax ("GST") input tax credits recoverable.

Receivables that are contractual are classified as financial instruments and categorised as loans and receivables. Statutory receivables are recognised and measured similarly to contractual receivables (except for impairment), but are not classified as financial instruments because they do not arise from a contract.

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method, less any accumulated impairment.

Trade debtors are carried at nominal amounts due and are due for settlement within 30 days from the date of recognition. Collectability of debts is reviewed on an ongoing basis, and debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised when there is objective evidence that the debts may not be collected and bad debts are written off when identified.

NOTE 5.2: INVENTORIES 2017 2016 $'000 $'000 Food supplies - at cost 5 0 Medical and surgical lines - at cost 61 78

TOTAL INVENTORIES 66 78

Inventories include goods and other property held either for sale, consumption or for distribution at no or nominal cost in the ordinary course of business operations. It excludes depreciable assets.

Inventories held for distribution are measured at cost, adjusted for any loss of service potential. All other inventories, including land held for sale, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Inventories acquired for no cost or nominal considerations are measured at current replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

The bases used in assessing loss of service potential for inventories held for distribution include current replacement cost and technical or functional obsolescence. Technical obsolescence occurs when an item still functions for some or all of the tasks it was originally acquired to do, but no longer matches existing technologies. Functional obsolescence occurs when an item no longer functions the way it did when it was first acquired.

Cost for all other inventory is measured on the basis of weighted average cost.

(i) The average credit period is 30 days. No interest is charged on payables.

(ii) Where amount of taxes payable is material, Health Services should present statutory 'taxes payable' in the note broken down by classes of taxes, i.e. GST payable, FBT payable, income tax payable, and other tax payable, as appropriate.

(a) Maturity analysis of payables Please refer to Note 7.1 for the ageing analysis of payables.

(b) Nature and extent of risk arising from payables Please refer to Note 7.1 for the nature and extent of risks arising payables.

Payables consist of: • contractual payables which consist predominantly of accounts payable representing liabilities for goods and services provided to the Health Service prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid, and arise when the Health Service becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of those goods and services. The normal credit terms for accounts payable are usually Nett 30 days. • statutory payables, such as goods and services tax and fringe benefits tax payables.

Contractual payables are classified as financial instruments and are initially recognised at fair value, and then subsequently carried at amortised cost. Statutory payables are recognised and measured similarly to contractual payables, but are not classified as financial instruments and not included in the category of financial liabilities at amortised cost, because they do not arise from a contract.

34 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 7: RISKS, CONTINGENCIES & VALUATION UNCERTAINTIES

The health service is exposed to risk from its activities and outside factors. In addition, it is often necessary to make judgements and estimates associated with recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements. This section sets out financial instrument specific information, (including exposures to financial risks) as well as those items that are contingent in nature or require a higher level of judgement to be applied, which for the health servicel is related mainly to fair value determination.

35 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 7.1: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies Robinvale District Health Services' principal financial instruments comprise of: - Cash Assets - Term Deposits - Receivables (excluding statutory receivables) - Payables (excluding statutory payables) - Accommodation Bonds

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, with respect to each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements.

The Health Service's main financial risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Health Service manages these financial risks in accordance with its financial risk management policy.

The Health Service uses different methods to measure and manage the different risks to which it is exposed. Primary responsibility for the identification and management of financial risks rests with the finance and audit committee of the Health Service.

The main purpose in holding financial instruments is to prudentially manage Robinvale District Health Services financial risk within the government policy parameters.

(i) For cash and cash equivalents, loans or receivables and available-for-sale financial assets, the net gain or loss is calculated by taking the movement in the fair value of the asset, interest revenue, plus or minus foreign exchange gains or losses arising from revaluation of the financial assets, and minus any impairment recognised in the net result;

(ii) For financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, the net gain or loss is calculated by taking the interest expense, plus or minus foreign exchange gains or losses arising from the revaluation of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.

(c) Credit Risk Credit risk arises from the contractual financial assets of the Health Service, which comprise cash and deposits, non-statutory receivables and available for sale contractual financial assets. The Health Service's exposure to credit risk arises from the potential default of a counter party on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Health Service. Credit risk is measured at fair value and is monitored on a regular basis.

Credit risk associated with the Health Service's contractual financial assets is minimal because the main debtor is the Victorian Government. For debtors other than the Government, it is the Health Service's policy to only deal with entities with high credit ratings of a minimum Triple-B and to obtain sufficient collateral or credit enhancements, where appropriate.

In addition, the Health Service does not engage in hedging for its contractual financial assets and mainly obtains contractual financial assets that are on fixed interest, except for cash assets, which are mainly cash at bank. As with the policy for debtors, the Health Service's policy is to only deal with banks with high credit ratings.

Provision of impairment for contractual financial assets is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Health Service will not be able to collect a receivable. Objective evidence includes financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments, debts which are more than 60 days overdue, and changes in debtor credit ratings.

Except as otherwise detailed in the following table, the carrying amount of contractual financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents Robinvale District Health Services' maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

Contractual financial assets that are neither past due or impaired There are no material financial assets which are individually determined to be impaired. Currently the Health Service does not hold any collateral as security nor credit enhancements relating to its financial assets.

There are no financial assets that have had their terms renegotiated so as to prevent them from being past due or impaired, and they are stated at their carrying amounts as indicated. The ageing analysis table above discloses the ageing only of contractual financial assets that are past due but not impaired.

39 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 7.1: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) (d) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Health Service would be unable to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. The Health Service operates under the Government's fair payments policy of setting financial obligations within 30 days and in the event of a dispute, making payments within 30 days from the date of resolution.

The Health Service's maximum exposure to liquidity risk is the carrying amounts of financial liabilities as disclosed in the face of the balance sheet. The Health Service manages its liquidity risk as follows:

- Term Deposits and cash held at financial institutions are managed with variable maturity dates and take into consideration cash flow requirements of the Health Service from month to month.

The following table discloses the contractual maturity analysis for Robinvale District Health Services' financial liabilities. For interest rates applicable to each class of liability refer to individual notes to the financial statements.

(i) Ageing analysis of financial liabilities excludes statutory financial liabilities (i.e. GST payable).

(e) Market Risk Robinvale District Health Services' exposures to market risk are primarily through interest rate risk with only insignificant exposure to foreign currency and other price risks. Objectives, policies and processes used to manage each of these risks are disclosed in the paragraphs below.

Currency Risk Robinvale District Health Services is exposed to insignificant foreign currency risk through its payables relating to purchases of supplies and consumables from overseas. This is because of a limited amount of purchases denominated in foreign currencies and a short timeframe between commitment and settlement.

Interest Rate Risk For financial liabilities, Robinvale District Health Service mainly undertakes financial liabilities with relatively even maturity profiles.

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Health Service has minimal exposure to cash flow interest rate risks through its cash and deposits, term deposits and bank overdrafts that are at floating rate.

The Health Service manages this risk by mainly undertaking fixed rate or non-interest bearing financial instruments with relatively even maturity profiles, with only insignificant amounts of financial instruments at floating rate. Management has concluded for cash at bank and bank overdraft, as financial assets that can be left at floating rate without necessarily exposing the Health Service to significant bad risk, management monitors movement in interest rates on a daily basis.

40 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 7.1: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) (e) Market Risk (Continued) Other Price Risk The Health Service is exposed to normal price fluctuations from time to time through market forces. Where adequate notice is provided by suppliers, additional purchases are made for long term goods. Supplier contracts are also in place for major product lines purchased by the Health Service on a monthly basis. These contracts have set price arrangements and are reviewed on a regular basis.

(f) Fair Value The fair values and net fair values of financial instrument assets and liabilities are determined as follows: • Level 1 - the fair value of financial instrument with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices; • Level 2 - the fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the financial asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 - the fair value is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable market inputs.

42 Robinvale District Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 NOTE 7.1: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) (f) Fair Value (Continued) Robinvale District Health Services considers that the carrying amount of financial instrument asset and liabilities recorded in the financial statements to be a fair approximation of their fair values, because of the short-term nature of the financial instruments and the expectation that they will be paid in full.

The following table shows that the fair values of most of the contractual financial assets and liabilities are the same as the carrying amounts.

(i) The carrying amount excludes statutory financial assets and liabilities (i.e.GST input tax credit and GST payable).

All financial assets held by Robinvale District Health Service are classified as Level 1.

Financial instruments arise out of contractual agreements that give rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Due to the nature of Robinvale District Health Services' activities, certain financial assets and financial liabilities arise under statute rather than a contract. Such financial assets and financial liabilities do not meet the definition of financial instruments in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation . For example, statutory receivables arising from taxes, fines and penalties do not meet the definition of financial instruments as they do not arise under contract.

Where relevant, for note disclosure purposes, a distinction is made between those financial assets and financial liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments in accordance with AASB 132 and those that do not.

The following refers to financial instruments unless otherwise stated.

Categories of non-derivative financial instruments Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial instrument assets with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted on an active market. These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Loans and receivables category includes cash and deposits (refer to Note 6.1), term deposits with maturity greater than three months, trade receivables, loans and other receivables, but not statutory receivables.

Financial Liabilities at Amortised Cost Financial instrument liabilities are initially recognised on the date they are originated. They are initially measured at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial instruments are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in profit and loss over the period of the interest-bearing liability, using the effective interest rate method.

Financial instrument liabilities measured at amortised cost include all of the Health Service’s contractual payables, deposits held and advances received, and interest-bearing arrangements other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss.

NET GAIN/(LOSS) ON DISPOSAL OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS 16 12

Disposal of Non-Financial Assets Any gain or loss on the sale of non-financial assets is recognised in the comprehensive operating statement.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives (and intangible assets not yet available for use) are tested annually for impairment (as described below) and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

All other non-financial assets are assessed annually for indications of impairment, except for: • inventories; • investment properties that are measured at fair value, • non-current physical assets held for sale; and • assets arising from construction contracts.

If there is an indication of impairment, the assets concerned are tested as to whether their carrying value exceeds their possible recoverable amount. Where an asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference is written-off as an expense except to the extent that the write-down can be debited to an asset revaluation reserve amount applicable to that same class of asset.

If there is an indication that there has been a reversal in the estimate of an asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised, the carrying amount shall be increased to its recoverable amount. This reversal of the impairment loss occurs only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised in prior years.

It is deemed that, in the event of the loss or destruction of an asset, the future economic benefits arising from the use of the asset will be replaced unless a specific decision to the contrary has been made. The recoverable amount for most assets is measured at the higher of depreciated replacement cost and fair value less costs of disposal. Recoverable amount for assets held primarily to generate net cash inflows is measured at the higher of the present value of future cash flows expected to be obtained from the asset and fair value less costs of disposal.

NOTE 7.3: CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the Balance Sheet, but are disclosed by way of note and, if quantifiable, are measured at nominal value. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are presented inclusive of GST receivable or payable respectively.

There are no known contingent assets or contingent liabilities for Robinvale District Health Service at the date of this report.

Remuneration of Responsible Persons Remuneration received or receivable by responsible persons was in the range: $160,000 - $169,999 ($170,000 - $179,999 in 2015-16).

Amounts relating to Responsible Ministers are reported in the financial statements of the Department of Parliamentary Services.

NOTE 8.5: EXECUTIVE OFFICER DISCLOSURES Remuneration of executives The number of executive officers, other than Ministers and Accountable Officers, and their total remuneration during the reporting period are shown in the table below. Total annualised employee equivalent provides a measure of full time equivalent executive officers over the reporting period.

Remuneration comprises employee benefits in all forms of consideration paid, payable or provided in exchange for services rendered, and is disclosed in the following categories.

Short-term employee benefits include amounts such as wages, salaries, annual leave or sick leave that are usually paid or payable on a regular basis, as well as non-monetary benefits such as allowances and free or subsidised goods or services.

Post-employment benefits include pensions and other retirement benefits paid or payable on a discrete basis when employment has ceased.

Other long-term benefits include long service leave, other long-service benefit or deferred compensation.

Termination benefits include termination of employment payments, such as severance packages.

Share-based payments are cash or other assets paid or payable as agreed between the health service and the employee, provided specific vesting conditions, if any, are met.

Several factors affected total remuneration payable to executives over the year. A number of employment contracts were completed during the year and negotiated and a number of executives received bonus payments during the year. These bonus payments depend on the terms of individual employment contracts. Some contracts provide for an annual bonus payment whereas other contracts only include the payment of bonuses on the successful completion of the full term of the contract. A number of these contract completion bonuses became payable during the year.

A number of executive officers retired, resigned or were retrenched in the past year. This has had a significant impact on total remuneration figures due to the inclusion of annual leave, long-service leave and retrenchment payments.
