The KP-Alliance 2018 National Agreement renews and strengthens the Labour Management Partnership to better meet the needs of our members and patients, the organization and the 49,000 employees represented by the Alliance of Health Unions. Union members of the alliance, their managers and the physicians who work with them should know the key terms of the agreement and what it does to achieve affordable, high-quality health care while creating a great workplace. The objective of the agreement is: “Through this agreement, the parties commit to improving health outcomes for all Australians and ensuring the sustainability of the Australian health system” (clause 12). Review these additional resources about the agreement: The information in these reports was intended to serve as a contribution to the COAG Reform Council`s analysis. To facilitate the work of the COAG Reform Council, these reports contain the following information: The goals are specific and measurable targets that are tracked to show how progress is being made in each of the result areas. Under each of the goals, there are indicators that help to understand how progress is tracked. The Productivity Commission has published a dashboard containing data and related supporting documents on progress towards the goals. The Scoreboard is updated regularly (at least once a year) and maintained throughout the duration of the National Accord. In addition to the Scoreboard, the Productivity Commission will conduct a comprehensive and independent review of progress every three years. This review will provide an analysis of progress towards priority reforms, targets, indicators and trajectories.
It will also examine the factors that contribute to progress based on evaluations and other evidence. The Commonwealth, states and territories, local governments and the Coalition of Peaks share responsibility for the implementation of the National Accord and are jointly responsible for the outcomes and objectives under the National Accord. The Joint Council will annually correct the Parties to the Convention on the progress made in the implementation of the National Convention. The National Agreement contains areas for data development measures. These are areas that are important to our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander outcomes, but cannot be measured at this time. The Joint Council will review the implementation plans and may provide advice on how the parties can better work together to achieve common results. This includes when progress towards reforms and priority objectives is not on track. All parties to the National Accord have recognized the need for it to be a flexible and “living” document that works with the best evidence as soon as it becomes available. The expertise and experience of the Coalition of Peaks and its members has been at the heart of the commitments made under this national agreement. It is also the feedback of the many engagements in 2019 with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia.

The partnership is grateful for the support of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in developing the national agreement. AIHW led a series of workshops to assist the Partnership Working Group in reviewing and developing the target framework, developed trajectories for making decisions on the level of ambition for different target areas, and provided technical advice on objectives, indicators and data availability.
The ABS provided data and technical advice for the objectives and indicators. Each Party to the national agreement has developed its own implementation plan and will report annually on its measures to achieve the results of the agreement […].
