National Compliance Program

National Compliance Program 2010–11

The National Compliance Program 2010–2011 aims to make sure public funds are used appropriately and the right person receives the right payment at the right time.

In 2010–11 we will focus on:

  • continuing to develop resources to support providers, including new doctors and international medical graduates, to voluntarily meet their compliance obligations
  • engaging with stakeholders including the co-design of our compliance initiatives
  • complete the program of work set out in the National Compliance Program 2009–2010
  • working closely with other Human Services agencies to improve compliance and fraud management.

National Compliance Program 2009–10

The National Compliance Program 2009–2010 focuses on Medicare Australia’s key stakeholder groups. It highlights areas of concern with compliance, outlines responses to these concerns and how Medicare Australia will support each group to voluntarily comply.

The 2009–2010 approach is to:

  • enhance our relationships with stakeholders to enable us to better identify compliance risks and to co-design practical and appropriate mitigation strategies
  • further refine our risk detection and assessment tools as part of a program integrity framework
  • better target our education and support activities
  • make sure our audit and investigation activities are understood, professional and well targeted.

By outlining our areas of focus for the next 12 months, we aim to alert key stakeholders to the risks up front and encourage use of the education and support available.
