Collection and usage attributes

Statistical unit:

Episodes of residential care.

Statistical units are entities from or about which statistics are collected, or in respect of which statistics are compiled, tabulated or published.

Collection methods:

Data are collected at each service from resident administrative and care related record systems. Services forward data to the relevant state or territory health authority on a regular basis (e.g. monthly).

National reporting arrangements

State and territory health authorities provide the data to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare for national collection, on an annual basis.

Government-operated services that employ mental health trained staff on-site 24 hours per day are in scope for collection.

Government-funded, non-government operated services and non 24-hour staffed services can be included, optionally.

For non 24-hour staffed services to be included they must employ mental health-trained staff on-site at least 50 hours per week with at least 6 hours staffing on any single day.

Periods for which data are collected and nationally collated

Financial years ending 30 June each year. The reference period starts on 1 July and ends on 30 June each year.

Implementation start date:

01/07/2016

Implementation end date:

30/06/2017

Comments:

Some admitted patient care services may meet the definition of a residential mental health service. However, as they are admitted patient care services, relevant data on their patients are reported to the National Minimum Data Set for Admitted Patient Care.
