As part of this update we carried out a survey of member services using the manual. We are pleased to report that it is being well used. There were requests for further information around accreditation. it is planned to further update that section in the new year.
Manual Update 2007-08
This is the fourth update of the AMSANT Administration Manual.
The most relevant contexual change relates to the updating the Aboriginal Health section to include recent changes such as the Commonwealth NT Intervention. With the election of a new Commonwealth Government further changes are expected. Two new sections hae been added - one on information management and communications and the other on accreditation matters. Both these sectios will require significant updates in the near future.
A further major update is intended to take account of changes in legislation (workplace relations and Aboriginal organisation incorporation Acts). Since the election of the new Commonwealth Labor Government some changes in these areas are expected. The site will be updated to incorporate any changes when such changes become clear. In the meantime, we advise services to take care that any changes they are making are consistent with new legislative requirements - see links in relevant sections.
Pleasse let us know of any other areas you think should be included, problems with the site and any other feedback you have that can make this site more useful to you.
