Budget Variances Commentary
Expenses
Increase in employee benefits from 2018–19 relates to increases in Average Staffing Level (ASL) during 2019–20. The Agency is still under ASL budget profile (250) as at 30 June 2020 (242). Increased depreciation relates to amortisation of right-of-use assets under AASB16 Leases with $4.1 million recorded for the 2019–20 year which was not budgeted for. Write downs of $2.3 million due to the annual impairment assessment of intangible assets were also not budgeted for.
Revenue
Contribution from jurisdictions $2.0 million increase to budget relates to recognition of prior year funding previously recognised as unearned income, as part of transition to AASB 1058 Income for Not for Profit Entities.
Other revenue of $9.6 million was unbudgeted and predominately relates to funds received from the Department of Health in relation to the Electronic Prescribing Project. The revenue was recognised upon completion of milestones set out in the contract.
An operating loss was approved for 2019–20 for the allowance for depreciation/amortisation, consistent with previous years. This operating loss was approved by the Minister of Health and Minister of Finance. There is no impact on the financial sustainability of the Australian Digital Health Agency (the Agency) resulting from the operating loss in 2019–20.

Budget Variances Commentary
Assets
Total assets were higher than budgeted partially due to increases in the amount of cash held at 30 June. This favourable cash position is mainly due to accrued expenses on the statement of financial position with payments to suppliers to be made in the first months of the next reporting period.
Right-of-use assets of $15.0 million relate to implementation of AASB 16 Leases for office leases held in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. Other Non-Financial Assets are higher than budget due to prior year audit adjustments to recognise a prepayment for Primary Health Networks (PHN) unspent funding (refer Equity).
Liabilities
Total liabilities were higher than budgeted mainly due to the implementation of AASB 16 Leases resulting in the recognition of lease liabilities with $17.7 million recorded for office lease commitments. This was offset by a lower than anticipated payables balance at 30 June 2020.
Equity

1 The Agency entered into contracts for service agreements with Primary Health Networks (PHNs) in 2018–19. At the 30 June 2019, monies paid under the agreements were acquitted by the PHNs with unspent funds of $5.7 million remaining should have been reclassified to prepayments. This prior period error has been restated in the prior year in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Changes in Equity.
2 Lease incentive assets, provision for lease incentive and lease straight lining have been adjusted against retained earnings on initial application of AASB 16.
Accounting Policy
Equity Injections
Amounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections’ for a year (less any formal reductions) and Departmental Capital Budgets (DCBs) are recognised directly in contributed equity in that year.
Cash Reserve
The purpose of this reserve is to recognise the potential costs of winding up the Agency should funding not be approved for future years. The creation of this reserve account has been approved by the Board.
Budget Variances Commentary
Statement of Changes in Equity
Equity is largely in line with expectations. The total equity position of the Agency has remained stable with the exception of prior period errors and lease adjustments as noted above.
The variance of $28.0 million relates to the initial recognition of ROU Assets as required by AASB 16.

Cash used for supplier payments was higher than budget which is due to the timing of payments to suppliers.
Notes to and forming part of the financial statements
Overview
Objectives of the Agency
The Australian Digital Health Agency (the Agency) is an Australian Government controlled corporate Commonwealth Agency established by the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Establishing the Australian Digital Health Agency) Rule 2016 (the Rule).
The Agency was established as a Corporate Commonwealth Agency on 30 January 2016 following registration of the rule on 29 January 2016 and commenced operations on 1 July 2016. All assets and liabilities of National E- Health Transition Authority and My Health Record (MHR) system operation activities managed by the Department of Health transferred to the Agency on that date.
The Agency has responsibility for the strategic management and governance for the national digital health strategy and the design, delivery and operations of the national digital healthcare system including the MHR system. It provides the leadership, coordination and delivery of a collaborative and innovative approach to utilising technology to support and enhance a clinically safe and connected national health system.
The Agency is structured to meet the following outcome:
Outcome 1: To deliver national digital healthcare systems to enable and support improvement in health outcomes for Australians
The continued existence of the Agency in its present form and with its present programs is dependent on:
- Government policy and on continued funding by the Australian Government for the Agency’s administration and programs relating to the MHR functions, extending the 2017-18 Budget measure titled My Health Record — continuation and expansion.
- Funding from the Australian Government, states and territories received pursuant to the Inter-Governmental Agreement signed in October 2018, and on any future such agreements.
The Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements as required by section 42 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:
- Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Financial Reporting) Rule 2015 (FRR) for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2015; and
- Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations – Reduced Disclosure Requirements issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and values are rounded to the nearest $’000 unless otherwise specified.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As per the 2019–20 Health Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS), the Agency is not currently resourced for the 2020–21 full year. This is due to timing of the Budget which has been moved to October 2020 for 2020–21, noting that the Appropriation Acts of 2020-21 provided for Agency funding in line with 2019–20 estimates. The Agency is not resourced for the forward estimates; however, the Government continues to publicly support the Agency’s objectives, and the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Intergovernmental Agreement on National Digital Health is in place until 30 June 2022. As such, the Agency continues to operate as a going concern until such time as a formal decision is made not to proceed with Agency activities as outlined in the 2019-20 PBS.
In 2019–20, COVID-19 has had significant health and economic impacts on a global scale. The Agency has assessed the potential impacts of COVID-19 on its operations, including as part of reviewing impairment of fixed assets, and there is no material impact to items presented in these accounts.
New Accounting Standards
All new, revised or amending standards and/or interpretations that were issued prior to the sign-off date and are applicable to the current reporting period did not have a material effect on the Agency’s financial statements.
Standard/ Interpretation | Nature of change in accounting policy, transitional provisions, and adjustment to financial statements |
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15) AASB 1058 Income for Not-For-Profit Entities (AASB1058) | AASB 15, AASB 2016-8 and AASB 1058 became effective 1 July 2019. AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including AASB 118 Revenue. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an Agency recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Agency expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. AASB 1058 is relevant in circumstances where AASB 15 does not apply. AASB 1058 replaces most of the not-for-profit (NFP) provisions of AASB 1004 Contributions and applies to transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset is significantly less than fair value principally to enable the Agency to further its objectives, and where volunteer services are received. The adoption of these standards has not had a material effect on the Agency’s revenue recognition. The details of the changes in accounting policies, transitional provisions and adjustments are in the relevant notes to the financial statements. |
AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) | AASB 16 became effective on 1 July 2019. This new standard has replaced AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 – Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, Interpretation 115 Operating Leases – Incentives and Interpretation 127 – Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. AASB 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, together with options to exclude leases where the lease term is 12 months or less, or where the underlying asset is of low value. AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting in AASB 117, with the distinction between operating leases and finance leases being retained. The details of the changes in accounting policies, transitional provisions and adjustments are disclosed below and in the relevant notes to the financial statements. |
Application of AASB 16 Leases
The Agency adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised in retained earnings at 1 July 2019. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2019 is not restated, that is, it is presented as previously reported under AASB 117 and related interpretations.
The Agency elected to apply the practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Contracts entered into before the transition date that were not identified as leases under AASB 117 were not reassessed. The definition of a lease under AASB 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 July 2019 which was not applicable for 2019–20. The Agency elected to exclude lease options from the valuation of right-of-use assets.
AASB 16 provides for certain optional practical expedients, including those related to the initial adoption of the standard. The Agency applied the following practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117:
- Apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
- Exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application for leases where the right-of-use asset was determined as if AASB 16 had been applied since the commencement date;
- Reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as opposed to preparing an impairment review under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets as at the date of initial application; and
- Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term remaining as of the date of initial application.
As a lessee, the Agency previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. On adoption of AASB 16, the Agency recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in relation to leases of office space which had previously been classified as operating leases.
The lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Agency’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. The Agency’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent creditor under comparable terms and conditions. The weighted-average rate applied was 0.99%. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.
Impact On Transition
On transition to AASB 16, the Agency recognised additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities, recognising the difference in retained earnings. The impact on transition is summarised below, noting that onerous leases provision has been adjusted to ROU assets:
Impact on Transition of AASB 16 | |
Departmental | 1 July 2019 |
Right-of-use assets | 20,280 |
Reversal of onerous lease provision | 1,332 |
Lease liabilities | (21,612) |
Reversal of Lease incentive (asset) | 1,957 |
Reversal of Lease incentive (provision) | (2,595) |
Reversal of Straight-lining provision | (388) |
Retained earnings | (1,026) |
The following table reconciles the minimum lease commitments disclosed in the Agency’s 30 June 2019 annual financial statements to the amount of lease liabilities recognised on 1 July 2019: | |
1 July 2019 | |
Minimum operating lease commitment at 30 June 2019 | 16,786 |
Plus: commitment on cancellable operating lease at 30 June 2019 (Canberra) | 6,910 |
Less: recoverable taxes included in minimum operating lease commitment at 30 June 2019 | (1,526) |
Undiscounted lease payments | 22,170 |
Less: effect of discounting using the incremental borrowing rate as at the date of initial application | (558) |
Lease liabilities recognised at 1 July 2019 | 21,612 |
Prior Year Adjustments
The Agency entered into contracts for service agreements with Primary Health Networks (PHNs) in 2018–19. At the 30 June 2019, monies paid under the agreements were acquitted by the PHNs with unspent funds of $5.7 million remaining should have been reclassified to prepayments. This prior period error has been restated in the prior year in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Changes in Equity. The impact is included below.

Accounting Policy
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Agency has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (less than $10,000). The Agency recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Capital commitments
The Agency has a $nil contractual obligation in the financial year 2020–21 for the system improvements for MHR.
Accounting Policy
Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken.
Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognized as assets and income at their fair value at the date of acquisition, unless acquired as a consequence of restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assets are initially recognized as contributions by owners at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor’s accounts immediately prior to the restructuring.
Asset recognition threshold
Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognized initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position. Purchases costing less than $2,000 are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total) except for IT hardware a lower capitalization threshold of $500 is applicable.
The initial cost of an asset includes an estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. This is particularly relevant to ‘make good’ provisions in leases taken up by the Agency where there exists an obligation to make good. These costs are included in the value of the Agency’s provisions, refer note 3.1B.
Category | Capitalisation Threshold |
Purchased IT hardware and IT software | $500 |
Leasehold improvements | $50,000 |
Internally developed IT software and hardware | $100,000 |
IT projects (software and hardware integration) | $100,000 |
All other property, plant and equipment | $2,000 |
Lease Right of Use (ROU) Assets
Leased ROU assets are capitalised at the commencement date of the lease and comprise of the initial lease liability amount, initial direct costs incurred when entering into the lease less any lease incentives received. These assets are accounted for by the Agency as separate asset classes to corresponding assets owned outright.
On initial adoption of AASB 16 the Agency has adjusted the ROU assets at the date of initial application by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognised immediately before the date of initial application. Following initial application, an impairment review is undertaken for any right of use lease asset that shows indicators of impairment and an impairment loss is recognised against any right of use lease asset that is impaired. Lease ROU assets continue to be measured at cost after initial recognition.
Revaluations
Following initial recognition at cost, property, plant and equipment (excluding ROU assets) are carried at fair value (or an amount not materially different from fair value) less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amounts of assets did not differ materially from the assets’ fair values as at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in values for the relevant assets.
Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of Asset Revaluation Reserve except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except to the extent that they reversed a previous revaluation increment for that asset class.
Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount.
All revaluations were conducted in accordance with the revaluation policy. An independent valuation was performed at 30 June 2019 and no material fair value movements were identified for 2019–20. A desktop impairment review process including an assessment of any COVID-19 impacts was completed for all property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation
Depreciable property, plant and equipment are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives, in all cases using the straight-line method of depreciation. Depreciation rates, residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives:
Asset Class | Useful life (years) |
Leasehold improvements | Length of lease |
Plant and equipment | 3 – 10 |
Computer software | 2 – 5 |
Other intangibles | 1 – 5 |
The depreciation rates for ROU assets are based on the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term.
Impairment
All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2020. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated, and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the Agency were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost.
The Agency has assumed sublease of surplus lease space is more unlikely due to a softer rental market in part due to COVID-19, resulting in a further impairment of ROU assets in 2019–20.
Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Significant Judgments and Estimates - Intangibles
The Agency’s intangibles comprise software licences, data sets, internally developed software for internal use and the MHR asset. These assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life which is reviewed as part of the annual impairment process.

Total employee provisions | 7,887 | 7,141 |
Accounting Policy
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits and termination benefits expected within 12 months of the end of reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts.
Leave
The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave.
No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.
The liability for long service leave has been determined by reference to the shorthand method prescribed by the Government Actuary as per the FRR and Commonwealth Agency Financial Statement Guide. The estimate of the present value of the liability takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.
Separation and Redundancy
Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The Agency recognises a provision for termination when it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry out the terminations.
Superannuation
The Agency’s staff comprise both Australian Public Service (APS) employees and staff whose employment is subject to contracts under Common Law. Both groups of employees are reflected in the Agency’s Average Staffing Level (ASL) numbers.
APS staff are either members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap), or other superannuation funds held outside the Australian Government. The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes for the Australian Government. The PSSap is a defined contribution scheme.
The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. This liability is reported in the Department of Finance’s administered schedules and notes.
The Agency makes employer contributions to the employees’ defined benefit superannuation scheme at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the current cost to the Australian Government. The Agency accounts for these contributions as if they were contributions to defined benefit plans.
In respect of the other more prominent group of Common Law contract employees, the Agency makes employer contributions to funds held outside of the Australian Government.
The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions, if any.

The Agency currently has three agreements for the leasing of premises and one of those agreements requires the Agency to restore the premises to their original condition at the conclusion of the lease. The Agency has made a provision for restoration to reflect the present value of this obligation.
An onerous lease provision of $1.3 million was recognised at 30 June 2019, reflecting the present value of lease expense, net of estimated sub-lease revenue, for a non-cancellable contract for office space. This has been adjusted as an impairment to the associated ROU Asset on transition to AASB16.
Provision for Restoration Obligation
Where the Agency has a contractual obligation to undertake remedial work upon vacating leased properties, the estimated cost of that work is recognised as a liability. An equal value asset is created at the same time and amortised over the life of the lease of the underlying leasehold property.
3.2 Key management personnel remuneration
Key management personnel (KMP) are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Agency, directly or indirectly, including any board member (whether executive or otherwise). The Agency has determined the KMP to be Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Executive Leadership Team (ELT) members and Board members. KMP remuneration is reported in the table below:
2020 | 2019 | |
$'000 | $'000 | |
Key management personnel remuneration expenses | ||
Short-term employee benefits | 2,629 | 2,950 |

Other long-term employee benefits | 46 | 50 |
Termination benefits | 0 | 140 |
Total key management personnel remuneration expenses1 | 2,933 | 3,421 |
The total number of KMP that are included in the above table for 2019–20 is 15. The total number reported in the prior year was 24 which included a turnover of Board membership in 2018–19.
1 The above KMP remuneration excludes the remuneration and other benefits of the Portfolio Minister. The Portfolio Minister’s remuneration and other benefits are set by the Remuneration Tribunal and are not paid by the Agency. The head count only includes KMP who received remuneration from the Agency in 2019–20.
3.3 Related party disclosures
The Agency is an Australian Government controlled corporate Commonwealth Agency. It has a governing Board of members, a CEO and ELT members and a Portfolio Minister.
Pursuant to AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (AASB 124), the Agency KMP are asked to provide details of where any of their close family members, or a controlled Agency/entities has/have transacted with the Agency. Where any doubt exists, the information is to be recorded and collected in any event.
AASB 124 requires disclosure of related party relationships that include transactions where significant influence exists between the Agency and other parties. The Standard identifies that KMP have the capacity to influence the operations of the Agency, and therefore parties related to KMP become related parties to the Agency and require disclosure in the annual financial statements.
The Agency has determined that all board members, the CEO and ELT members constitute KMP. This includes those acting in a role for three months or more continuously.
Given the breadth of Government activities, related parties may transact with the government sector in the same capacity of ‘common citizens’. Common citizen or ‘open contest’ transactions are not requested or recorded as they reflect those transactions that may be undertaken with the Agency under the same terms and conditions as any other citizen.
The Agency transacts with other Australian Government controlled entities consistent with normal day-to-day business operations provided under normal terms and conditions, including the payment of workers compensation and insurance premiums. These are not considered individually significant to warrant separate disclosure as related party transactions.
Giving consideration to relationships with related entities, and transactions entered into during the reporting period by the Agency, it has been determined that there are no related party transactions to be separately disclosed.
3.4 Remuneration of auditors
Amounts paid or payable for audit of the financial statements 2019–20 is $120,000 (2019: $120,000).
4.1 Contingent assets and liabilities
Quantifiable Contingencies
The Agency had no quantifiable contingencies at reporting date.
Unquantifiable Contingencies
The Agency had no unquantifiable contingencies at reporting date.
Accounting Policy
Contingent assets and liabilities may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of an asset or liability, or where the amount cannot be reliably measured.
Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote.

- financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; and
- financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets are recognised when the Agency becomes a party to the contract and, as a consequence, has a legal right to receive or a legal obligation to pay cash and derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are transferred upon trade date.
Interest revenue from financial assets for 2019–20 was $0.4 million (2018–2019: $1.5 million).
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or amortised cost. Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon ‘trade date’.
Note 4.2B: Credit Risk
The Agency is exposed to minimal credit risk as loans and receivables are cash and trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk was the risk that arises from potential default of a debtor. The amount was equal to the total amount of the trade receivables of $8.1 million in 2020 (2019: $6.4 million).
The Agency had no financial assets that were past due but not impaired at 30 June 2020 (2019: None).
4.3 Fair value measurement
The Agency has Leasehold Improvement and Plant and Equipment assets that are measured at fair value. The remaining assets and liabilities disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position do not apply the fair value hierarchy.
The different levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined below:
- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Agency can access at measurement date.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Leasehold improvements are categorised as Level 3.
Plant and equipment are categorised as Level 2.
