Define Teaching, Training and Research and Identify Associated Cost Drivers for ABF Purposes - Final Project Report

In August 2011, the Commonwealth, States and Territories signed The National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA). Among a number of other reforms, the NHRA committed the Commonwealth and State and Territory jurisdictions to implement an Activity Based Funding (ABF) model for public healthcare services. The NHRA also recognised that the infrastructure to fund teaching, training and research (TT&R) on an activity basis was not in place.
