Victorian Ambulatory Classification & Funding System (VACS)

Forms

Notification of Clinic Changes Form

A clinic notification form will need to be filled out by health services when they are requesting the following:

• the commencement of a new clinic
• cessation of an existing clinic
• change of clinic name or hospital clinic identifier.

The purpose of the clinic notification forms is to provide information to the VACS Clinical panel to evaluate clinics for clinical verification. This is not about approving funding for the VACS Clinic.

All VACS clinic notifications must be sent to the Department of Health - see contacts below.

Previously, VACS ancillary services, such as pathology, radiology and pharmacy were reported on the AIMS S2 Non-Admitted Form, as part of Commonwealth reporting requirements.

Since July 2005, the AIMS S9 and S2 forms have been combined into the S9 -111 Form.

For more details on these forms see the AIMS Public Hospital User Manual (Version 17.0, July 2009).
