Subject: Rural public health care agencies alliances policy – minor updates
This circular has been replaced by circular 17/2008
This Rural public health care agencies alliances policy outlines government requirements for the operation of rural health information and communication technology (ICT) alliances.
The policy was first released as circular 6/2008 in April 2008. This circular updates the template joint venture agreement with the following changes:
- Under 'Instrument of Authorisation' in the definitions and interpretation, Board has been changed to Executive Committee.
- The definition of commencement date has been changed. "Commencement Date" now means the date the last of the mandated members signs or 1 July 2008, whichever is first.
- Signature blocks have been added for foundation members.
- Stray editing comments have been removed from clause 3.3 and 4.6.
The policy otherwise remains unchanged.
