NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies These annual financial statements represent the audited general purpose financial statements for Albury Wodonga Health Service for the period ending 30 June 2014. 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 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 AAS’s. The annual financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Albury Wodonga Health Service on 22 August 2014.

(b) 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 2014, and the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013. The going concern basis was used to prepare the financial statements. The 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 with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amounts do not materially differ from their fair values;  derivative financial instruments after initial recognition, which are measured at fair value with changes reflected in the comprehensive operating statement (fair value through profit and loss); and  the fair value of assets other than land is generally based on their depreciated replacement value.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 10 37 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 37 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about 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, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. 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 Note1(k)); and  superannuation expense (refer to Note 1(h)); and  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 1(l)). Consistent with AASB13 Fair Value Measurement, Albury Wodonga Health determines the policies and procedures for recurring fair value measurements such as property, plant and equipment and financial instruments, in accordance with the requirements of AASB13 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. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Albury Wodonga 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, Albury Wodonga 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 Albury Wodonga Health Service’s independent valuation agency. Albury Wodonga 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. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

(c) Reporting Entity The financial statements include all the controlled activities of the Albury Wodonga Health Service. Albury Wodonga Health Service was created by the Governor in Council (Victoria) on 1 July 2009. AWH is the result of the integration of the former Wodonga Regional Health Service and Albury Base Hospital. The terms of the integration are outlined in the Inter Governmental Agreement (IGA) between Victoria and NSW which was signed by the respective Health Minister in each state. Transactions with NSW public sector entities are treated as normal external transactions. AWH’s principal address is: Vermont Street WODONGA VIC 3690

A description of the nature of Albury Wodonga Health Service’s operations and its principal activities is included in the report of operations, which does not form part of these financial statements.

(d) Principles of Consolidation In accordance with AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements of Albury Wodonga Health Service incorporates the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Albury Wodonga Health Service as at 30 June 2014, and their income and expenses for that part of the reporting period in which control existed. Control exists when Albury Wodonga Health Service has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of a Health Service so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. Intersegment Transactions Transactions between segments within Albury Wodonga Health Service have been eliminated to reflect the extent of Albury Wodonga Health Service’s operations as a group. Joint Ventures Joint Ventures are accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined in Note 1(k) Financial Assets.

(e) Scope and presentation of financial statements Fund accounting Albury Wodonga Health Service operates on a fund accounting basis and maintains three funds: Operating, Specific Purpose and Capital Funds. Albury Wodonga Health Service's Capital and Specific Purpose Funds include unspent capital donations and receipts from fund-raising activities conducted solely in respect of these funds. Services Supported by Health Services Agreement and Services Supported by Hospital and Community Initiatives Activities classified as Services Supported by Health Services Agreement (HSA) are substantially funded by the Department of Health and includes Residential Aged Care Services (RACS) and are also funded from other sources such as the Commonwealth, patients and residents, while Services Supported by Hospital and Community Initiatives (H&CI) are funded by the Health Service’s own activities or local initiatives and / or the Commonwealth. Residential Aged Care The Blackwood Cottage Residential Aged Care Service operations are an integral part of the Albury Wodonga Health Service and the results of the two operations have been segregated based on actual revenue earned and expenditure incurred by each operation in Note 2b to the financial statements. The Blackwood Cottage Residential Aged Care Service is substantially funded from Commonwealth bed-day subsidies. Comprehensive operating statement The Comprehensive Operating Statement includes a subtotal entitled ‘net result before capital & specific items’ to enhance the understanding of the financial performance of Albury Wodonga Health Service. This subtotal reports the result excluding items such as capital grants, assets received or provided free of charge, depreciation, expenditure using capital purpose income and items of unusual nature and amount such as specific income and expenses. The exclusion of these items is made to enhance matching of income and expenses so as to facilitate the comparability and consistency of results between years and Victorian Public Health Services. The ‘net result before capital & specific items’ is used by the management of Albury Wodonga Health Service, the Department of Health and the Victorian Government to measure the ongoing operating performance of Health Services.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 12 39 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 39 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

Capital and specific items, which are excluded from this sub-total, comprise:  capital purpose income, which comprises all tied grants, donations and bequests received for the purpose of acquiring non-current assets, such as capital works or plant and equipment. It also includes donations of plant and equipment (refer note 1(g)). Consequently the recognition of revenue as capital purpose income is based on the intention of the provider of the revenue at the time the revenue is provided.  specific income / expense, comprises the following items, where material: - Voluntary departure packages - Write-down of inventories - Non-current asset revaluation increments / decrements - Diminution / impairment of investments - Restructuring of operations (disaggregation / aggregation of Health Services) - Litigation settlements - Non-current assets lost or found - Forgiveness of loans - Reversals of provisions - Voluntary changes in accounting policies (which are not required by an accounting standard or other authoritative pronouncement of the Australian Accounting Standards Board).  impairment of financial and non-financial assets, includes all impairment losses (and reversal of previous impairment losses), which have been recognised in accordance with note 1(j).  depreciation and amortisation, as described in Note 1(h).  assets provided or received free of charge (refer to Note 1(g) and (h)).  expenditure using capital purpose income, comprises expenditure which either falls below the asset capitalisation threshold or doesn’t meet asset recognition criteria and therefore does not result in the recognition of an asset in the balance sheet, where funding for that expenditure is from capital purpose income. Balance Sheet Assets and liabilities are categorised either as current or non-current (non-current being those assets or liabilities expected to be recovered/settled more than 12 months after reporting period), are disclosed in the notes where relevant. Statement of changes in equity The statement of changes in equity presents reconciliations of each non-owner and owner changes in equity from opening balance at the beginning of the reporting period to the closing balance at the end of the reporting period. It also shows separately changes due to amounts recognised in the comprehensive result and amounts recognised in other comprehensive income. Cash flow statement Cash flows are classified according to whether or not they arise from operating activities, investing activities, or financing activities. This classification is consistent with requirements under AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows. For the cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts, which are included as current borrowings in the balance sheet. Rounding All amounts shown in the financial statements are expressed to the nearest $1,000 unless otherwise stated.

Minor discrepancies in tables between totals and sum of components are due to rounding. Comparative Information Where necessary, the previous year’s financial information has been reclassified to facilitate comparisons. The following comparative information has been changed for this financial year:  Notes 2a and 3a have been updated to separate Residential Aged Care (RAC) revenue and expenses which had previously been included within the Mental Health category.  Notes 2 and 2a have been updated to provide more detailed information regarding commercial activities and specific purpose funds.

(f) Changes in accounting policies AASB13 Fair Value Measurement AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for all fair value measurements. AASB 13 does not change when a health service is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under Australian Accounting Standards when fair value is required or permitted. The health service has considered the specific requirements relating to highest and best use, valuation premise, and principal (or most advantageous) market. The methods, assumptions, processes and procedures for determining fair value were revised and adjusted where applicable. In light of AASB 13, the health service has reviewed the fair value principles as well as its current valuation methodologies in assessing the fair value, and the assessment has not materially changed the fair values recognised. AASB 13 has predominately impacted the disclosures of the health service. It requires specific disclosures about fair value measurements and disclosures of fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure requirements in other standards, including AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The disclosure requirements of AASB 13 apply prospectively and need not to be provided for comparative periods, before initial application. Consequently, comparatives of these disclosures have not been provided for 2012-13, except for financial instruments, of which the fair value disclosures are required under AASB 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures. AASB119 Employee Benefits In 2013-14, the health service has applied AASB 119 Employee Benefits (Sep 2011, as amended), and related consequential amendments for the first time. The revised AASB119 changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligation and plan assets. As the current accounting for changes is for the Department of Treasury and Finance to recognise and disclose the State’s defined benefit liabilities in its financial statements, changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets will have limited impact on the health service. The revised standard also changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. These were previously benefits that were expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service, however, short-term employee benefits are now defined as benefits expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service. As a result, accrued annual leave balances which were previously classified as short-term employee benefits no longer meet this definition and are now classified as long-term employee benefits. This has resulted in a change of measurement for the annual leave provision from an undiscounted to discounted basis. The health service considers the change in the classification has not materially altered its measurement of the annual leave provision and therefore adjustments to the comparative year in 2012-13 have not been made.

(g) Income from transactions Income is recognised in accordance with AASB 118 Revenue and is recognised as to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to Albury Wodonga Health Service and the income can be reliably measured at fair value. Unearned income at reporting date is reported as income received in advance. Amounts disclosed as revenue are, where applicable, net of returns, allowances and duties and taxes. Government Grants and other transfers of income (other than contributions by owners) In accordance with AASB 1004 Contributions, government grants and other transfers of income (other than contributions by owners) are recognised as income when the Health Service gains control of the underlying assets irrespective of whether conditions are imposed on the Health Service’s use of the contributions. Contributions are deferred as income in advance when the health service has a present obligation to repay them and the present obligation can be reliably measured. Indirect Contributions from the Department of Health  Insurance is recognised as revenue following advice from the Department of Health;  Long Service Leave (LSL) – Revenue is recognised upon finalisation of movements in LSL liability in line with the arrangements set out in the Metropolitan Health and Aged Care Services Division Hospital Circular 05/20013 (update for 2013-13); and  NSW non cash revenue is recognised in respect of Superannuation and Long Service Leave for employees seconded to Albury Wodonga Health Service, Albury Campus. Patient and Resident Fees Patient fees are recognised as revenue at the time invoices are raised. Private Practice Fees Private Practice fees are recognised as revenue at the time invoices are raised. Revenue from commercial activities Revenue from commercial activities such as commercial laboratory medicine is recognised at the time invoices are raised. Donations and Other Bequests Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received. If donations are for a special purpose, they may be appropriated to a surplus, such as the specific restricted purpose surplus. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes in account the effective yield of the financial asset, which allocates interest over the relevant period. Fair value of assets and services received free of charge or for nominal consideration Resources received 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 Health Service or agency as a consequence of a restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, such transfer will be recognised at 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 received as a donation. Other income Other income includes revenue received from joint venture Hume Rural Health Alliance, bad debt recoveries, fundraising, salary recoveries and patient services recoveries to external organisations.

(h) Expense Recognition 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. Employee expenses Employee expenses include:  wages and salaries;  annual leave;  sick leave;  long service leave; and  superannuation expenses which are reported differently depending upon whether employees are members of defined benefit or defined contribution plans. 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 Albury Wodonga Health Service are entitled to receive superannuation benefits and Albury Wodonga 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 Albury Wodonga Health Service are disclosed in Note 15 Superannuation. Depreciation All infrastructure assets, building, plant and equipment and other non-financial physical assets that have finite useful lives are depreciated (i.e. excludes land assets). 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 and depreciation method for all assets are reviewed at least annually, and adjustments made where appropriate. This depreciation charge is not funded by the Department of Health. 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.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 16 43 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 43 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

The following table indicates the expected useful lives of non-current assets on which the depreciation charges are based: 2014 2013 Buildings  Structure Shell Building Fabric 9 to 30 years 9 to 30 years  Site Engineering Services and Central Plant 11 to 28 years 11 to 28 years  Fit Out 5 to 12 years 5 to 12 years  Trunk Reticulated Building Systems 6 to 15 years 6 to 15 years Plant and Equipment 3 to 7 years 3 to 7 years Medical Equipment 3 to 10 years 3 to 10 years Computers and Communication 3 years 3 years Furniture and Fitting 13 years 13 years Motor Vehicles 5 years 5 years Leased Improvements 6 to 10 years 6 to 10 years As part of the buildings valuation, building values were separated into components and each component assessed for its useful life which is represented above. Finance Costs Finance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Finance costs include:  interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings (Interest expense is recognised in the period in which it is incurred);  finance charges in respect of finance leases recognised in accordance with AASB 117 Leases. 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 services 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 expensed when distributed. Bad and doubtful debts Refer to Note 1(k)) Impairment of 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 transfer will be recognised at 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.

(i) Other comprehensive income Other comprehensive income measures the change in 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 1(k) Revaluations of non-financial physical assets. 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 value 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 1(k)); and  disposals of financial assets and derecognition of financial liabilities. Revaluations of financial instrument at fair value Refer to Note 1(j) Financial instruments. Share of net profits/ (losses) of associates and joint entities, excluding dividends. Refer to Note 1(d) Basis of consolidation. Other gains/ (losses) from other comprehensive income Other gains/ (losses) include:  the revaluation of the present value of the long service leave liability due to changes in the bond interest rates; and  transfer of amounts from the reserves to accumulated surplus or net result due to disposal or derecognition or reclassification.

(j) Financial instruments 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 the Albury Wodonga Health Service’s 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.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 18 45 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 45 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

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 1(j)), 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.

(k) Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents recognised on the balance sheet comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, deposits at call and highly liquid investments (with an original maturity of three months or less), which are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment purposes, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with an insignificant risk of changes in value. For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents include bank overdrafts, which are included as liabilities on the balance sheet but exclude monies held in trust for accommodation bonds. Refer to Note 6. Receivables Receivables consist of:  contractual receivables, which includes 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 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.

Investments and Other Financial Assets 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. The Albury Wodonga 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. Albury Wodonga 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. Inventories 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 measure 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. 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 11 Property, plant and equipment. Freehold Land is measured at fair value with regard to the property’s highest and best use after due consideration is made for any legal or constructive 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 restrictions 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.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 20 47 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 47 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

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 fair value because of the short lives of the assets concerned. Restrictive nature of cultural and heritage assets, Crown land and infrastructure assets During the reporting period, the Health Service may hold cultural assets, heritage assets, Crown land and infrastructure assets. Such assets are deemed worthy of preservation because of the social rather than financial benefits they provide to the community. The nature of these assets means that there are certain limitations and restrictions imposed on their use and/or disposal. 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 FRD103E 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 in equity to the asset revaluation surplus, except that, to the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of the same class of asset previously recognised as an expense in the next 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 normally transferred to accumulated funds on derecognition of the relevant asset. In accordance with FRD103E, Albury Wodonga Health Service’s non-current physical assets were assessed to determine whether revaluation of the non-current physical assets was required. Prepayments Other non-financial assets include prepayments which represent payments in advance of receipt of goods or services or that part of expenditure made in one accounting period covering a term extending beyond that period. Disposal of Non-Financial Assets Any gain or loss on the sale of non-financial assets is recognised in the comprehensive operating statement. Refer to note 1(h) – ‘comprehensive income’. 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 describe below) and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. All other non-finance assets are assessed annually for indications of impairment, except for inventories.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 21

48 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

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 surplus amount applicable to that same class of asset. If there is an indication that there has been a change 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 to sell. 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 to sell. Investments in jointly controlled assets and operations In respect of any interest in jointly controlled assets, Albury Wodonga Health Service recognises in the financial statements:  its share of jointly controlled assets;  any liabilities that it had incurred;  its share of liabilities incurred jointly by the joint venture;  any income earned from the selling or using of its share of the output from the joint venture; and  any expenses incurred in relation to being an investor in the joint venture. For jointly controlled operations Albury Wodonga Health Service recognises:  the assets that it controls;  the liabilities that it incurs;  expenses that it incurs; and  the share of income that it earns from selling outputs of the joint venture. 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.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 22 49 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 49 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

Impairment of financial assets At the end of each reporting period Albury Wodonga Health Service assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial asset is impaired. All financial instrument assets, except those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to annual review for impairment. Receivables are assessed for bad and doubtful debts on a regular basis. Bad debts considered as written off and allowances for doubtful receivables are expensed. Bad debt written off by mutual consent and the allowance for doubtful debts are classified as ‘other comprehensive income’ in the net result. The amount of 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. Where the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument at balance date has reduced by 20 percent or more than its cost price or where its fair value has been less than its cost price for a period of 12 or more months, the financial asset is treated as impaired. 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. Net gain/ (loss) on financial instruments Net gain/ (loss) on financial instruments includes:  realised and unrealised gains and losses from revaluations of financial instruments that are designated at fair value through profit or loss or held-for-trading;  impairment and reversal of impairment for financial instruments at amortised cost; and  disposals of financial assets and derecognition of financial liabilities. Revaluations of financial instruments at fair value The revaluation gain/ (loss) on financial instruments at fair value excludes dividends or interest earned on financial assets.

(l) Liabilities 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; and  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.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 23

50 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

Borrowings All borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of the consideration received; less directly attributable transaction costs (refer also to note 1(m) Leases). The measurement basis subsequent to initial recognition depends on, whether the Health Service has categorised its borrowings as either, financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, or financial liabilities at amortised cost. Any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value is recognised in net result over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest method. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the borrowing. The Health Service determines the classification of its borrowing at initial recognition. Provisions 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 liability 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 accrued days off (where applicable) are all recognised in the provision for employee benefits as ‘current liabilities’ because the health service does not have an unconditional right to defer 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. The components of this current LSL liability are measured at:  Undiscounted value – if the health service expects to wholly settle within 12 months; and  Present value – if the health service does not expect to wholly settle 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 bond interest rates for which it is then recognised as an other economic flow.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 24 51 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 51 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

LSL - NSW seconded employees From 1 January 2011, the NSW Health Department accepted responsibility of long service leave liability for all NSW employees seconded to Albury Wodonga Health Service. The Department of Health Victoria agreed with NSW Health that Albury Wodonga Health Service should adopt this policy and subsequently pass this liability back to NSW Health. 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 terminate 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. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value. On-costs Provision for on-costs, such as workers compensation and superannuation are recognised together with provisions for employee benefits. Superannuation liabilities The Albury Wodonga 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. Make good provisions Make good provisions are recognised when the Health Service has contractual obligations to remove leasehold improvements from leased properties and restore the leased premises to their original condition at the end of the lease term. The related expenses of making good such properties are recognised when leasehold improvements are made. 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 comprehensive operating statement.

(m) Leases A lease is a right to use an asset for an agreed period of time in exchange for payment. Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of property, plant and equipment are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. For service concession arrangements, the commencement of the lease term is deemed to be the date the asset is commissioned. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 25

52 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

Finance leases Entity as lessor The Health Service does not hold any finance lease arrangements with other parties. Operating leases Entity as lessor Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. All incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the lease asset, irrespective of the incentive’s nature or form or the timing of payments. In the event that lease incentives are given to the lessee, the aggregate cost of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease term, on a straight-line basis unless another systematic basis is more appropriate of the time pattern over which the economic benefit of the leased asset is diminished. Entity as lessee Operating lease payments, including any contingent rentals, are recognised as an expense in the comprehensive operating statement on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefits derived from the use of the lease asset. The leased asset is not recognised in the balance sheet. Lease incentives All incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, irrespective of the incentive’s nature or form or the timing of payments. In the event that lease incentives are received by the leasee to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefits of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset is diminished. Leasehold improvements The cost of leasehold improvements are capitalised as an asset and depreciated over the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.

(n) Equity Contributed capital Consistent with Australian Accounting Interpretation 1038 Contributions by Owners Made to Wholly- Owned Public Sector Entities and FRD 119A Contributions by Owners, appropriations for additions to the net asset base have been designated as contributed capital. Other transfers that are in the nature of contributions or distributions that have been designated as contributed capital are also treated as contributed capital. Transfers of net assets arising from administrative restructurings are treated as contributions by owners. Transfers of net liabilities arising from administrative restructures are to go through the comprehensive operating statement. Property, Plant & Equipment Revaluation Surplus The asset revaluation surplus is used to record increments and decrements on the revaluation of non- current physical assets.

ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT Page 26 53 ALBURY WODONGA HEALTH 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 53 Albury Wodonga Health Service Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2014

Specific Restricted Purpose Surplus A specific restricted purpose surplus is established where the Health Service has possession or title to the funds but has no discretion to amend or vary the restriction and/or condition underlying the funds received.

(o) Commitments Commitments for future expenditure include operating and capital commitments arising from contracts. These commitments are disclosed by way of a note (refer to note 21) at their nominal value and are inclusive of the goods and services tax (“GST”) payable. In addition, where it is considered appropriate and provides additional relevant information to users, the net present values of significant individual projects are stated. These future expenditures cease to be disclosed as commitments once the related liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet.

(p) 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.

(q) Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case the GST payable is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow. Commitments for expenditure and contingent assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis.

(r) Events after the reporting period Assets, liabilities, income or expenses arise from past transactions or other past events. Where the transactions result from an agreement between the Health Service and other parties, the transactions are only recognised when the agreement is irrevocable at or before the end of the reporting period. Adjustments are made to amounts recognised in the financial statements for events which occur after the reporting period and before the date the financial statements are authorised for issue, where those events provide information about conditions which existed at the reporting date. Note disclosure is made about events between the end of the reporting period and the date the financial statements are authorised for issue where the events relate to conditions which arose after the end of the reporting period and which may have a material impact on the results of subsequent reporting periods.

(s) AASs issued that are not yet effective Certain new Australian accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2014 reporting period. DTF assesses the impact of all these new standards and advises the Health Service of their applicability and early adoption where applicable.

As at 30 June 2014, the following standards and interpretations had been issued by the AASB but were not yet effective. They become effective for the first financial statements for reporting periods commencing after the stated operative dates as detailed in the table below. Albury Wodonga Health Service has not and does not intend to adopt these standards early.

Note 15: Superannuation

Employees of the Health Service are entitled to receive superannuation benefits and the Health Services 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 its 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:

Paid Contribution for the Contribution Outstanding Year at Year End 2014 2013 2014 2013 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 (i) Defined benefit plans: First State Super 72 87 1 1 NSW Superannuation Funds 454 438 3 3 Defined contribution plans: First State Super 3,971 3,574 350 33 Hesta 1,508 1,348 152 4 NSW Superannuation Funds 3,863 3,604 35 30 Other 114 309 14 10 Total 9,982 9,360 555 81

Note 20: Financial Instruments (continued)

(b) 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 rating 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 Albury Wodonga Health Service’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

(c) 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 Services operates under the Government's fair payments policy of settling 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 following table discloses the contractual maturity analysis for Albury Wodonga Health Service's financial liabilities. For interest rates applicable to each class of liability refer to individual notes to the financial statements.

Note 20: Financial Instruments (continued) (d) Market risk The Albury Wodonga Health Service's 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 paragraph below. Currency risk The Albury Wodonga Health Service 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 Exposure to interest rate risk might arise primarily through the Albury Wodonga Health Service's interest bearing liabilities. Minimisation of risk is achieved by mainly undertaking fixed rate or non-interest bearing financial instruments. For financial liabilities, the health service mainly undertake 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.

Note 20: Financial Instruments (continued)

(e) 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.

The Health Services considers that the carrying amount of financial instrument assets 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.
