Compliance & The National Compliance Program

Medicare Australia’s National Compliance Program 2007–08

We committed to stay in contact about compliance issues in 2007–08, as part of working in partnership with our stakeholders and health care providers.

In the spirit of that partnership, and the transperancy we promised, we wanted to report performance delivery on our compliance program in the first half of our fiscal year.

We are proud of these achievements and delighted to report them to you.

To make the information quick and easy to read, we have laid out the report in a table. Simply click on the PDF file below to view and download the report:

Targeted compliance audits are specific, in-depth reviews aimed at confirming compliance with the appropriate legislation or benefit schedules. They are part of a number of strategies applied to address threats or abuse against the various programs administered by Medicare Australia. Audits are conducted by Medicare Australia program review staff in consultation with professional advisers.
