Welcome to the Department of Health and Ageing Casemix Conference 2008, to be held 16-19 November 2008 at the Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide, South Australia.

Casemix-based funding is the dominant form of funding of public hospitals in many states and territories in Australia. Casemix aims to fund on individual outcomes, rather than on a historical level of funding. 

On 16-19 November 2008, the Department of Health and Ageing will host ‘The Casemix Evolution: extending the boundaries’, which aims to view casemix in a holistic manner, across acute, sub-acute and non-acute sectors, including: 

• Its place in broader health reforms; 

• International approaches; 

• Workforce issues; and 

• Sustainability of our current approach to casemix. 

The Conference will bring together hospital and health service managers, clinicians, service providers, private health insurers, state and territory health department and hospital representatives and academics to discuss current and future casemix issues on a national and international level.

On-line registration is now open!  Standard registration closes Friday 31 October. Register here.
