PMHC MDS Documentation

Funding by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care (DoHAC) has been provided to Primary Health Networks (PHNs) to support commissioning of mental health and suicide prevention services.

The Primary Mental Health Care Minimum Data Set (PMHC MDS) provides the basis for PHNS, their service providers and DoHAC to monitor and report on the quantiry and quality of service delivery, and to inform future improvements in the planning and funding of primary mental health care services funded by the Australian Government.

The PMHC MDS is used by a range of users. We have grouped information that is relevant to assist the different types of users to find resources.

Relevant to all users are the PMHC MDS Data Specifications.
