Payments Policy
The Payments Policy (PDF 389KB) provides the mandatory requirements in relation to payments to creditors, the retrieval of surplus funds, and reporting obligations required to meet the relevant Treasurer’s Instructions (TIs), the Late Payment of Government Debts (Interest) Act 2013 and other regulatory requirements.
Applicability
This policy applies to all employees and contracted staff of SA Health; that is all employees and contracted staff of the Department for Health and Wellbeing (DHW), Local Health Networks (LHNs) including statewide services aligned with those Networks and SA Ambulance Service (SAAS).
Specifically, employees and contracted staff who are involved with governance and financial obligations.
Out of Scope
Financial management functions and responsibilities outsourced under a service arrangement, including the arrangement with Shared Services SA (SSSA), are mandated by the Service Design and Operating Level Responsibilities (SDOLR) as agreed and allocated between the public authority and the service provider (SSSA) and therefore out of scope for this policy.
