Commissioning is the process of procuring and coordinating services. In our case, it’s health services.
We use commissioning to partner with health practices and providers to develop and implement primary health services across the NT.
This process allows us to direct resources in the best way possible to meet local health needs, particularly those at the highest risk of poor health outcomes.
This cycle encompasses this full range of activities, not simply the procurement of services.
Our Board doesn’t make the decisions as to which health services receive funding as part of the commissioning process. These decisions are governed by our Commissioning Policy and Commissioning Procedure, which are based on the requirements of the Australian Government.

As part of our funding agreement with the Australian Government, we develop and deliver annual activity work plans, which describe the types of activities or services we commission.
