For general issues relating to the DS/CSTDA NMDS, refer to the DS/CSTDA NMDS Data Quality Statement. Timeliness: CSTDA NMDS 2008–09 and DS NMDS 2009–10. Accessibility: The AIHW provides a variety of products that draw upon the DS/CSTDA NMDS. Published products available on the AIHW website are: Disability support services (annual report) Australia’s Welfare Interactive disability data cubes Ad hoc data are available on request (charges apply to recover costs) METeOR – online metadata repository National Community Services Data Dictionary Interpretability: Information to assist in interpretation of the performance indicator is contained in the NDA performance indicator glossary, which accompanies these Data Quality Statements. Supporting information on the quality and use of the DS/CSTDA NMDS are published annually in ‘Disability support services’ available in hard copy or on the AIHW website (<xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx>). Relevance: DS/CSTDA NMDS data are generated by processes that deliver services to people. It is assumed that these processes involve the determination of eligibility and the assessment of disability support needs following broadly consistent principles across jurisdictions, although it is known that differing assessment tools are in use across jurisdictions. This assumption is untested. For general issues relating to the DS/CSTDA NMDS, refer to the DS/CSTDA NMDS Data Quality Statement. The interim indicator is sourced from CSTDA NMDS 2008–09 and DS NMDS 2009–10 and provides information about the informal carers of people who use specialist disability services. The data collected in the NMDS is a subset of the entire population of carers of people with disability. It should be noted that the DS/CSTDA NMDS counts people with informal carers; it does not count carers. Limited data on carers is available, and the NMDS count of people with carers may not be an accurate measure of the number of individual carers. For the numerator, services other than those provided under the National Disability Agreement (i.e. outside the DS/CSTDA NMDS) may also assist carers of people with disability in their caring role, such as those provided by...
Institutional environment. The National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) is a joint program of the Australian Government and State and Territory governments. The target age group is women aged 20–69 years. Cervical cytology registers in each State and Territory are maintained by jurisdictional Program managers. Data are supplied for inclusion on registers by pathology laboratories. Data from cervical cytology registers are provided to the AIHW annually in an aggregated format. The NCSP is monitored annually. Results are compiled and reported at the national level by the AIHW in an annual Cervical screening in Australia report. Timeliness: Data available for the 2012 COAG Reform Council report are based on the two- year calendar period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2010. Data are presented as a rate for the two-year period to reflect the recommended screening interval. Accessibility: The NCSP annual reports are available via the AIHW website where they can be downloaded free of charge. Interpretability: While numbers of women screened are easy to interpret, calculation of age- standardised rates with allowance for the proportion of the population who have had a hysterectomy is more complex and the concept may be confusing to some users. Information on how and why age-standardised rates have been calculated and how to interpret them as well as the hysterectomy fraction is available in all AIHW NCSP monitoring reports, for example, Cervical screening in Australia 2008-2009.
Institutional environment. The AIHW has calculated this indicator. The data are estimates from the AIHW National Health Labour Force Survey series which are annual surveys managed by each state and territory health authorities, with the questionnaire administered by the relevant registration board in each jurisdiction as part of the registration renewal process. Under agreement with the Australian Health Ministers Advisory Council's (AHMAC) Health Workforce Principal Committee, the AIHW cleans, collates, manipulates and weights the state and territory survey results to obtain national estimates of the total medical labour force and reports the findings. These data are used for workforce planning, monitoring and reporting. The AIHW is an independent statutory authority within the Health and Ageing portfolio, which is accountable to the Parliament of Australia through the Minister.

Results are compiled and reported at the national level by the AIHW in an annual National bowel cancer screening program monitoring report. NBCSP data depend on the return of data forms from participants, general practitioners, colonoscopists and pathologists to the NBCSP register. The register is maintained by Medicare Australia. Data from the register are provided to the AIHW six monthly as unit record data. Timeliness: Data available for the 2011 COAG Reform Council report is based on the calendar period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009. Accessibility: The NBCSP annual reports are available via the AIHW website where they can be downloaded free of charge. Interpretability: While numbers of people screened are easy to interpret, the NBCSP screening pathway may be confusing to some users. Information on the NBCSP is available in all AIHW NBCSP monitoring reports, for example, National bowel cancer screening program monitoring report 2009.
Institutional environment. The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) claims data are based on administrative by-product of Medicare Australia administering the Medicare fee-for-service payment systems. Medicare Australia collects the MBS data under the Medicare Australia Act 1973. The data are then regularly provided to the Department of Health and Ageing. The tables for this indicator were prepared by the Department of Health and Ageing and quality-assessed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The Department of Health and Ageing drafted the initial data quality statement (including providing input about the methodology used to extract the data and any data anomalies) and then further comments were added by the AIHW, in consultation with the Department. The AIHW did not have the relevant datasets required to independently verify the data tables for this indicator. For further information see the AIHW website. Timeliness: The indicator relates to all claims processed in the 2008–09 financial year. Accessibility: Medicare claims statistics are available at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxxxx+Xxxxxxxxxx-0 xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxx_xxxx.xxxxx Interpretability: Information is available for MBS claims data from: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx- benefits-schedule-mbs-1 Relevance: The measure relates to specific identified Medicare services. This is a proxy measure for the indicator as it only includes specialist services reimbursed through the Medicare system (for out-of-hospital private patients) and not specialist services provided in public hospital outpatient and other settings (which are not reimbursed through the Medicare system). This measure does not reflect total Medicare-reimbursed specialist activity as it excludes specialist services provided to hospital inpatients (and reimbursed through the Medicare system). The analyses by state/territory, remoteness and SEIFA are based on postcode of residence of the client as recorded by Medicare Australia at the date of last service received in the reference period. As clients may receive services in locations other than where they live, data does not necessarily reflect the location in which services were received. Medical claims that are reimbursed through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs are not included in this measure.
