Draft IHACPA Work Program and Corporate Plan 2023–24

On 12 August 2022, amendments to the National Health Reform Act 2011 came into effect, changing the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority’s name to the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority and expanding its role to include the provision of aged care costing and pricing advice to the Commonwealth Government. This is the first Work Program and Corporate Plan that integrates these expanded functions.

The consultation was open from 8 March to 7 April 2023.

All submissions are published below, except for where respondents specifically identified sections that they believed should be kept confidential due to commercial or other reasons.
