Hunter New England Local Health District
Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Hunter New England Local Health District
To Members of the New South Wales Parliament
Opinion
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Hunter New England Local Health District
(the District), which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended
30 June 2020, the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020, the Statement of Changes in
Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a Statement of
Significant Accounting Policies and other explanatory information of the District and the consolidated
entity. The consolidated entity comprises the District and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or
from time to time during the financial year.
In my opinion, the financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the financial position of the District and the consolidated entity as at
30 June 2020, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
• are in accordance with section 45E of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (PF&A Act) and
the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2015.
My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under the
standards are described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements’
section of my report.
I am independent of the District and the consolidated entity in accordance with the requirements of
the:
• Australian Auditing Standards
• Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards)’ (APES 110).
I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with APES 110.
Parliament promotes independence by ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of
New South Wales are not compromised in their roles by:
• providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an
Auditor-General
• mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies
• precluding the Auditor-General from providing non-audit services.
I believe the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my
audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter – Presentation of Budget Information
Without modification to the opinion expressed above, I draw attention to the basis of presenting
adjusted budget information detailed in Note 38. The note states that AASB 1055 ‘Budgetary
Reporting’ is not applicable to the District. It also states that, unlike the requirement in AASB 1055
‘Budgetary Reporting’ to present original budget information, the District’s financial statements present
adjusted budget information.
The Chief Executive’s Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The Chief Executive is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the PF&A Act, and for such internal control
as the Chief Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Chief Executive is responsible for assessing the ability of the
District and the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
My objectives are to:
• obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
• issue an Independent Auditor’s Report including my opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee an audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect material misstatements.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or
in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions users take
based on the financial statements.
A description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf. The
description forms part of my auditor’s report.
The scope of my audit does not include, nor provide assurance:
• that the District or the consolidated entity carried out their activities effectively, efficiently and
economically
• about the assumptions used in formulating the budget figures disclosed in the financial
statements
• about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial
statements on any website where they may be presented
• about any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.

Reporting entity
The Hunter New England Local Health District Special Purpose Service Entity, which was established as a Division of theHNELHD on 1 January 2011 in accordance with the Health Services Act 1997. This Division provides personnel services toenable the HNELHD to exercise its functions.
Hunter New England Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020
The Hunter New England Local Health District (the HNELHD) was established under the provisions of the Health Services Act1997 with effect from 1 January 2011.
The HNELHD is a NSW Government entity and is controlled by the NSW Ministry of Health, which is the immediate parent. Thereporting entity is also controlled by the State of New South Wales (and is consolidated as part of the NSW Total State SectorAccounts), which is the ultimate parent. The reporting entity is a not-for-profit entity (as profit is not its principal objective).
The HNELHD, as a reporting entity, comprises all the entities under its control, namely:
As a consequence the values in the financial statements presented herein consist of the parent entity and the consolidatedentity which comprises the parent and special purpose service entity. In the process of preparing the consolidated financialstatements consisting of the controlling and controlled entities, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated,and like transactions and other events are accounted for using uniform accounting policies.
These consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been authorised for issue by the ChiefExecutive on 21 September 2020.
The parent entity comprises all the operating activities of the Hospital Facilities and the Community Health Centres underits control. It also encompasses the Restricted Assets (as disclosed in Note 26), which, while containing assets which arerestricted for specified uses by the grantor or the donor, are nevertheless controlled by the parent entity.
Following the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in late February 2020, the HNELHD has seen a decline in normalhospital activities. Restrictions were imposed by the Australian Government resulting in the suspension of non-urgent electivesurgeries to ensure increased capacity across the health system. Critical resources were reassigned to plan and prepare forpossible surges as a result of the outbreak. The unprecedented measures undertaken by both the Australian and Stategovernments to contain the spread of COVID-19, have resulted in significant impacts to the economy and within the healthsector.
When the NSW Budget is handed down in November 2020-21, the interim Service Agreement and funding arrangements will bereplaced with a full-year 2020-21 Service Agreement and budget. The Service Agreement sets out the level of financialresources for public health services under HNELHD's control and the source of these funds. By agreement, the ServiceAgreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meet benchmarks for the payment ofcreditors. Where HNELHD fails to meet Service Agreement performance standards, the NSW Ministry of Health as the statemanager will take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, including financial support andincreased management interaction by the NSW Ministry of Health.
The HNELHD's financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared on an accrual basisand in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations),the requirements of the Health Services Act 1997 and its regulations (including observation of the Accounts and AuditDetermination for Public Health Organisations), the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the Act) and the Public Finance andAudit Regulation 2015, and the NSW Treasurer's Directions issued under the Act. The financial statements comply with theNSW Treasury mandates circular for NSW General Government Sector Entities.
The financial statements of the HNELHD have been prepared on a going concern basis.
In alignment with the approach of other States and Territories, and following a recommendation by the National Cabinet ofCommonwealth, the 2020-21 NSW Budget has been deferred until 17 November 2020. On this basis, the Secretary of NSWHealth, the Chair of Hunter New England Local Health District Board and the Chief Executive, through an interim ServiceAgreement, have agreed to service and funding levels for the forward financial year. The interim Service Agreement providesfor 48 per cent of the LHD’s annual funding.

(i) Effective for the first time in 2019-20
The Commonwealth has entered a National Partnership Agreement, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Statesand Territories, including NSW. The Agreement will deliver funding to public hospitals and provide stability and certainty offunding while ensuring access to new life saving therapies in public hospitals. The HNELHD is subject to additional NSWMinistry of Health recurrent and capital allocations to provide for costs incurred related to COVID-19 activities and toensure debts can be paid as and when they become due and payable.
The accounting policies applied in 2019-20 are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as a result ofnew or revised Australian Accounting Standards that have been applied for the first time as follows:
All amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and are expressed in Australian currency, which is the HNELHD'spresentation and functional currency.
Allocated funds, combined with other revenues earned, are adequate to pay debts as and when they become due andpayable.
The HNELHD has the capacity to review the timing of NSW Ministry of Health allocation cash flows to ensure that debtscan be paid when they become due and payable.
The HNELHD has developed an Efficiency and Improvement Plan (EIP) which identifies revenue improvement and costsaving strategies. Benefits from the EIP are retained by the HNELHD and assist in meeting its overall budget target. TheEIP is monitored and evaluated by the NSW Ministry of Health throughout the financial year.
Comparative Information
Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative information is disclosed in respectof the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.
Despite the impact of COVID-19, the going concern assumption remains appropriate. Reasons for this include:
Property, plant and equipment, assets held for sale and certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Otherfinancial statement items are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except where specified otherwise.
Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financialstatements.
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards which include Australian AccountingInterpretations.
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arisingfrom investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified asoperating cash flows.
The HNELHD applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities, andAASB 16 Leases for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of these new accountingstandards are described below.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019-20, but do not have an impact on the financialstatements of the HNELHD.
Accounting for the Goods & Services Tax (GST)
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:
the amount of GST incurred by the HNELHD as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office isrecognised as part of an asset's cost of acquisition or as part of an item of expense; and
Certain comparative information has been reclassified to ensure consistency with current year presentation and classification.

In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15, the HNELHD has adopted AASB 15 retrospectively with thecumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019. TheHNELHD has used the transitional practical expedient permitted by the standard to reflect the aggregate effect of all of themodifications that occur before 1 July 2018 when:
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15)
AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies,with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. AASB 15 establishes a five-step model toaccount for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount thatreflects the consideration to which the HNELHD expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to acustomer.
AASB 15 requires the HNELHD to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstanceswhen applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for theincremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standardrequires relevant disclosures.

Impact on the Statement of Comprehensive Income (increase / (decrease)):
AASB 1058 requires recognition of receipt of an asset, after the recognition of any related amounts in accordance withother Australian Accounting Standards, as income:
AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (AASB 1058)
Income from grants were previously recognised upon receipt of cash. Under the new revenue recognitionrequirements of AASB 15, income should be recognised when a performance obligation, by transferring a promisedgood or service, is satisfied. This may be at a point in time or over time. This has led to the accrual of grant incomewhere the entity has satisfied its obligations promised in the contract with the customer.
In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 1058, the HNELHD has adopted AASB 1058 retrospectively with thecumulative effect of initially applying the standard at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019. The HNELHD hasadopted the practical expedient in AASB 1058 whereby existing assets acquired for consideration significantly less than fairvalue principally to enable the HNELHD to further its objectives, are not restated to their fair value.
The effect of adopting AASB 1058 is as follows:
The nature of these adjustments is described below:
AASB 1058 applies to income with a donation component, i.e. transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset issignificantly less than fair value principally to enable a not-for-profit entity to further its objectives; and volunteer services.AASB 1058 adopts a residual approach, meaning that entities first apply other applicable Australian Accounting Standards(e.g. AASB 1004, AASB 15, AASB 16, AASB 9, AASB 137) to a transaction before recognising income.
Not-for-profit entities need to determine whether a transaction is/contains a donation (accounted for under AASB 1058) or acontract with a customer (accounted for under AASB 15).
Operating result

immediately, for all other income within the scope of AASB 1058.
PARENT AND CONSOLIDATED
Revenue
The reason for the changes in grants and other contributions is due to the non-recurring nature of grants and contributionsreceived and varying nature of performance obligations across grant contracts resulting in different timing of revenuereceived.
AASB 1058 replaces most of the existing requirements in AASB 1004 Contributions. The scope of AASB 1004 is nowlimited mainly to contributions by owners (including parliamentary appropriations that satisfy the definition of a contributionby owners), administrative arrangements and liabilities of government departments assumed by other entities.
Income from grants were previously recognised upon receipt of cash. Under the new revenue recognitionrequirements of AASB 15, income should be recognised when a performance obligation, by transferring a promisedgood or service, is satisfied. This may be at a point in time or over time. This has led to a deferral of grant incomewhere the entity has not yet satisfied its obligations promised in the contract with the customer.

AASB 16 supersedes AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease,Interpretation 115 Operating Leases – Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of TransactionsInvolving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentationand disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise most leases on the Statement of Financial Position.
Lessor accounting
Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify leases aseither operating or finance leases using similar principles as in AASB 117. Therefore, AASB 16 does not have a significantimpact for leases where the entity is the lessor.
The reason for the changes in grants and other contributions is due to the timing of revenue received to construct non-financial assets to be controlled by the entity.

The nature of these adjustments is described below:
Income from grants to construct non-financial assets to be controlled by the entity were previously recognised uponreceipt of cash. Under the new revenue recognition requirements of AASB 1058, income should have beenrecognised over time as the non-financial assets are being constructed.

For leases previously classified as finance leases the HNELHD recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset andlease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the dateof initial application. The measurement principles of AASB 16 are only applied after that date.
Total assets
The effect of adopting AASB 16 on the Statement of Financial Position as at 1 July 2019 (increase / (decrease)) is, asfollows:
Liabilities
applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
relying on its previous assessment on whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application asan alternative to performing an impairment review;
not recognise a lease liability and right-of-use-asset for short-term leases that end within 12 months of the date ofinitial application;
excluding the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of- use asset at the date of initial application; and
PARENT AND CONSOLIDATED
AssetsReceivablesRight-of-use assets
The HNELHD has adopted the partial retrospective option in AASB 16, where the cumulative effect of initially applyingAASB 16 is recognised on 1 July 2019 and the comparatives for the year ended 30 June 2019 are not restated.
In relation to leases that had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under AASB 117, a lease liability isrecognised at 1 July 2019 at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incrementalborrowing rate at the date of initial application. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to thelease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 1.97%.
The corresponding right-of-use asset is initially recorded on transition at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted bythe amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the Statement of FinancialPosition as at 30 June 2019.
The HNELHD elected to use the practical expedient to expense lease payments for lease contracts that, at theircommencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases),and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is valued at $10,000 or under when new (low-value assets).
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the HNELHD has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
Lessee accounting
not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at 1 July 2019, for those contracts previously assessed underAASB 117 and Interpretation 4;
using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease.
AASB 16 requires the HNELHD to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accountingfor finance leases under AASB 117. As the lessee, the HNELHD recognises a lease liability and right-of-use asset at theinception of the lease. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the future lease payments, discounted usingthe interest rate implicit in the lease, or the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the leasecannot be readily determined. The corresponding right-of-use asset is measured at the value of the lease liability adjustedfor lease payments before inception, lease incentives, initial direct costs and estimates of costs for dismantling andremoving the asset or restoring the site on which it is located.

The difference between the operating lease commitments disclosed in applying AASB 117 at the end of the annualreporting period immediately preceding the date of initial application (i.e. 30 June 2019), discounted using the incrementalborrowing rate at the date of initial application; and lease liabilities recognised in the Statement of Financial Position at thedate of initial application (i.e 1 July 2019) is the result of HNELHD enterring a number of short-term, cancellable leaseswhich are out of the scope of AASB 16.

AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements is applicable to public sector entities only and is effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after 1 January 2020. This standard requires the grantor to recognise a service concession asset in aservice concession arrangement where it controls the asset. A corresponding financial liability and/or grant of right liabilityis also recognised depending on the nature of the consideration exchanged. Service concession assets (including thoseprovided by the operator, an upgrade to or a major component replacement of an existing asset of the grantor; and existingassets of the grantor – also applicable to previously unrecognised intangible assets except goodwill) are initially measuredat current replacement cost based on AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement principles. They are subsequently accounted forunder AASB 116 Property, Plant & Equipment or AASB 138 Intangible Assets. Service concession liabilities are initiallymeasured at the same amount as the service concession asset and subsequently measured using either the 'financialliability' model applying AASB 9 Financial Instruments or, the 'grant of right' model under AASB 1059 Service ConcessionArrangements. AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements requires retrospective application.

10. Revenue
Recognition and Measurement
11. NSW Ministry of Health allocations
Until 30 June 2019, income is recognised in accordance with AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue andAASB 1004 Contributions.
From 1 July 2019, income is recognised in accordance with the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts withCustomers (AASB 15) or AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (AASB 1058), dependent on whether there is a contractwith a customer defined by AASB 15.
Payments are made by the immediate parent as per the Service Agreement to the HNELHD and adjusted for approvedsupplementations, mostly for salary agreements and approved enhancement projects. The Service Agreement between theimmediate parent and the HNELHD does not contain sufficiently specific enforceable performance obligations as defined byAASB 15 and are therefore recognised upon the receipt of cash, in accordance with AASB 1058.
Interstate patient flows are funded through the NSW State Pool Account, based on activity and consistent with the pricedetermined in cross border agreements. The funding is also recognised as part of the NSW Ministry of Health recurrentallocation from the immediate parent.
The HNELHD recognised additional NSW Ministry of Health recurrent allocations of $18,572 thousand and NSW Ministry ofHealth capital allocations of $1,510 thousand to cover costs incurred with preparation, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19patients.

Recognition and Measurement
Sale of goods (until 30 June 2019)
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the HNELHD transfers the significant risks and rewards of ownership ofthe goods, usually on delivery of the goods.
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under various contracts. No element of financing is deemed present aspayments are due when the service is provided.
Refer to Note 28 for the disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations thatare unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period, and when the HNELHD expects to recognise theunsatisfied portion as revenue.
An agreement is in place with the Commonwealth Department of Veterans' Affairs through which direct funding is providedfor the provision of health services to entitled veterans. For inpatient services, revenue is recognised by the HNELHD onan accrual basis by reference to patient admissions. Non admitted patients are recognised by the NSW Ministry of Healthin the form of a block grant.
Use of hospital facilities
Specialist doctors with rights of private practice are subject to an infrastructure charge, including service charges whereapplicable for the use of hospital facilities at rates determined by the NSW Ministry of Health.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the HNELHD satisfies a performance obligation by transferring thepromised goods. Sale of goods comprises of pharmacy sales, sale of prosthesis and other items. The HNELHD typicallysatisfies its performance obligations when the control of goods is transferred to the customer. The payments are typically duewhen invoiced.
Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, and revenue is only recognised to theextent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the salesare made with a short credit term. No volume discount or warranty is provided on the sale.
Patient fees are derived from chargeable inpatients and non-inpatients on the basis of rates specified by the NSW Ministryof Health. Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided to the patient.
Patient fees
Rendering of services (until 30 June 2019)
Revenue is recognised when the service is provided or by reference to the type and stage of services provided to date.
Rendering of services from contracts with customers (from 1 July 2019)
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when the HNELHD satisfies the performance obligation by transferring thepromised services. Revenue is typically recognised as follows:
Department of Veterans' Affairs
Revenue for highly specialised drugs is paid by the Commonwealth in accordance with the terms of the Commonwealthagreement through Medicare and reflects the recoupment of costs incurred under Section 100 of the National Health Act1953 for highly specialised drugs. The agreement provides for the provision of medicines for the treatment of chronicconditions where specific criteria are met in respect of admitted day patients, non admitted patients or patients ondischarge. Revenue is recognised when the drugs have been provided to the patient.
Motor Accident Authority third party
A bulk billing agreement exists in which motor vehicle insurers' effect payment directly to NSW Health for the hospitalcosts for those persons hospitalised or attending for inpatient treatment as a result of motor vehicle accidents. TheHNELHD recognises the revenue on an accrual basis from the time the patient is treated or admitted into hospital.

Interest income
Royalties
Recognition and Measurement
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except forfinancial assets that subsequently become credit impaired. For financial assets that become credit impaired the effectiveinterest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the financial asset (i.e. after deducting the loss allowance for expected creditlosses).
Until 30 June 2019, royalties are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.
From 1 July 2019, royalties are usually recognised when the underlying performance obligation is satisfied. It is recognised atthe estimated amount if the consideration is variable.

Grants and other contributions (from 1 July 2019)
Recognition and Measurement
Grants and other contributions (until 30 June 2019)
Revenue from grants with sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the HNELHD satisfies aperformance obligation by transferring the promised goods or services. The HNELHD typically receives grants in respect ofresearch, clinical drug trials and other community, health and wellbeing related projects. The HNELHD uses various methodsto recognise revenue over time, depending on the nature and terms and conditions of the grant contract. The payments aretypically based on agreed timetable or on achievement of different milestones set up in the contract.
Income from grants to acquire / construct a recognisable non-financial asset to be controlled by the HNELHD is recognisedwhen the HNELHD satisfies its obligations under the transfer. The HNELHD satisfies the performance obligation under thetransfer over time as the non-financial assets are being constructed. The percentage of cost incurred is used to recogniseincome, because this most closely reflects the progress to completion.
Contributions are recognised at their fair value. Contributions of services are recognised when and only when a fair value ofthose services can be reliably determined and the services would be purchased if not donated.
Revenue from these grants is recognised based on the grant amount specified in the funding agreement/funding approval,and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element offinancing is deemed present as funding payments are usually received in advance or shortly after the relevant obligation issatisfied.
Receipt of these services, while important, is not recognised because typically such services would not have been purchasedif not donated.
Receipt of volunteer services is recognised when and only when the fair value of those services can be reliably determinedand the services would have been purchased if not donated. Volunteer services recognised are measured at fair value. TheHNELHD receives volunteer services for the below activities:
Volunteer services
Income from grants without sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the HNELHD obtains control overthe granted assets (e.g. cash).
Refer to Note 28 for the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that have not been satisfied at the end ofthe year and when it is expected to be recognised as revenue.

Impairment
All ‘regular way’ purchases or sales of receivables are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular waypurchases or sales are purchases or sales of receivables that require delivery of assets within the time frame established byregulation or convention in the marketplace.
For lease receivables, the HNELHD applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 Financial Instruments, where the lossallowance is based on lifetime ECLs.
For trade receivables, the HNELHD applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. The HNELHD recognises a lossallowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The HNELHD has established a provision matrix based on itshistorical credit loss experience for trade receivables, adjusted for forward looking factors specific to the receivable.
The HNELHD recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt financial assets not held at fair valuethrough profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that theHNELHD expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The HNELHD holds receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them atamortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Changes are recognised in the net result for the yearwhen impaired, derecognised or through the amortisation process.
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Trade receivables that do notcontain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price.
The current and non-current trade receivables from contracts with customers balances above include the followingpatient fee receivables:

3,197 2,597 3,197 2,597
Recognition and Measurement
The cost of inventories acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration is the current replacement cost as at the date ofacquisition. Current replacement cost is the cost the HNELHD would incur to acquire the asset. Net realisable value is theestimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costsnecessary to make the sale.
Inventories held for distribution are stated at cost, adjusted when applicable, for any loss of service potential. A loss of servicepotential is identified and measured based on the existence of a current replacement cost that is lower than the carryingamount. Inventories (other than those held for distribution) are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost iscalculated using the weighted average cost method.
Obsolete items are disposed of in accordance with instructions issued by the NSW Ministry of Health.
The increase in medical and surgical supplies is a result of the HNELHD preparing for an increase in COVID-19 patients.Inventories held for distribution for COVID-19 are also consumed in the normal services provided by the HNELHD.
Market demand has increased the weighted average cost of inventories in medical and surgical supplies due to the outbreakof COVID-19. Market demand for these items is expected to continue and as a result the carrying amount and currentreplacement cost are aligned. At the 30 June 2020, the HNELHD has determined that it plans to use the remaining medicaland surgical supplies inventory in a relatively short time period, well before expiry, and there is no available alternative that ismore efficient or effective nor a likelihood of an alternative being on the market in the foreseeable future.

Capitalisation thresholds
The present value of the expected cost for the restoration or cost of dismantling of an asset after its use is included in the costof the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Restoration costs
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets costing $10,000 and above individually (or forming part of a networkcosting more than $10,000) are capitalised.
Land and buildings are owned by the Health Administration Corporation. Land and buildings which are operated/occupied bythe HNELHD are deemed to be controlled by the HNELHD and are reflected as such in the financial statements.
Where payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferredpayment amount is effectively discounted over the period of credit.
Major inspection costs
Property, plant and equipment acquired are initially recognised at cost and subsequently revalued at fair value lessaccumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the otherconsideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amountattributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian AccountingStandards.
Acquisition of property, plant and equipment
Health Administration Corporation, a controlled entity of the immediate parent, manages the approved major capital worksprogram for the NSW Ministry of Health and its controlled entities. Health Administration Corporation receives NSW Ministry ofHealth Capital Allocations and grants on behalf of the HNELHD and makes payments to contractors and suppliers. HealthAdministration Corporation initially records all costs incurred as work in progress or expenses and subsequently transfers tothe HNELHD. The costs are then accordingly reflected in the HNELHD financial statements. The HNELHD acquires mostassets in this manner.
Recognition and Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants atmeasurement date.
Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition(see also assets transferred as a result of an equity transfer - Note 39).
When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as areplacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.

Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the asset’s useful life. However, if there isno reasonable certainty that the lessee entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated overthe shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2019 includes non-current assets acquired under finance leases only. The assetsare recognised at fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, at the inception of the lease.Property, plant and equipment does not include amounts in respect of operating leases.
Until 30 June 2019, AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117) distinguished between finance leases that effectively transfer from thelessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets, and operating leasesunder which the lessor does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards.
Subsequent to the adoption of AASB 16, the HNELHD, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use asset at cost and acorresponding lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition ofinvestment properties are included in Property, Plant and Equipment under the corresponding asset categories. Furtherinformation on right-of-use assets is contained in Note 23.
Further information on leases is contained in Note 23.
Therefore, at that date property, plant and equipment recognised under leases previously treated as finance leases underAASB 117 are derecognised. The right-of-use assets arising from these leases are recognised and included in the separateline item together with those arising from leases previously treated as operating leases under AASB 117.
From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset for most leases. TheHNELHD has elected to present right-of-use assets separately in the Statement of Financial Position.

'Infrastructure Systems' comprises public facilities which provide essential services and enhance the productive capacity of theeconomy including roads, bridges, water infrastructure and distribution works, sewerage treatment plants, seawalls and waterreticulation systems.
'Plant and equipment' comprises, among others, medical, computer and office equipment, motor vehicles, furniture and fittingsand PODS (a detachable or self-contained unit on ambulances used for patient treatment).
Details of depreciation rates initially applied for major asset categories are as follows:
Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets so as to write off the depreciable amount of eachasset as it is consumed over its useful life to the HNELHD. Land is not a depreciable asset. All material identifiablecomponents of assets are depreciated over their useful lives.

Property, plant and equipment is measured at the highest and best use by market participant's that is physically possible,legally permissible and financially feasible. The highest and best use must be available at a period that is not remote andtakes into account the characteristics of the asset being measured, including any socio-political restrictions imposed bygovernment. In most cases, after taking into account these considerations, the highest and best use is the existing use. Inlimited circumstances, the highest and best use may be a feasible alternative use, where there are no restrictions on use orwhere there is a feasible higher restricted alternative use.
Physical non-current assets are valued in accordance with the 'Valuation of Physical Non-Current Assets at Fair Value' Policyand Guidelines Paper (TPP 14-01). This policy adopts fair value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, AASB116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 140 Investment Property.
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
The HNELHD has adopted the option to not apply AASB 16 to assets that would be classified as service concession assets inaccordance with AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements: Grantors. The HNELHD continues to apply its existingaccounting policy to these assets until AASB 1059 is applied. In a privately financed project (PFP), a public-sector entity (thegrantor) arranges for the private sector (the operator) to design, finance and build infrastructure and provide associatedoperational or management services for an agreed period (the service period). They are currently accounted for under TPP 06-8 Privately Financed Projects. Some PFP assets are acquired under a finance lease and accounted for following the principlesof AASB 117 according to TPP 06-8.
Interim revaluations are conducted between comprehensive revaluations where cumulative changes to indicators suggest fairvalue may differ materially from carrying value.
Privately financed project (PFP) assets accounted for under AASB 117 (until 30 June 2020)
For other assets valued using other valuation techniques, any balances of accumulated depreciation existing at therevaluation date in respect of those assets are credited to the asset accounts to which they relate. The net asset accounts arethen increased or decreased by the revaluation increments or decrements.
Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost, as an approximation of fair value.The HNELHD has assessed that any difference between fair value and depreciated historical cost is unlikely to be material.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the HNELHD management performed an additional assessment to determine ifthe fair value of its property plant and equipment as at 30 June 2020 materially differed from the carrying value. Managementconcluded that there is no definitive or conclusive market evidence to support any material adjustments. No adjustments wereapplied as a result.
Fair value of property, plant and equipment is based on a market participants’ perspective, using valuation techniques (marketapproach, cost approach, income approach) that maximise relevant observable inputs and minimise unobservable inputs. Alsorefer to Note 25 for further information regarding fair value.
The last comprehensive revaluation was completed on 31 December 2018 and was based on an independent assessment.
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount of each asset in the class does not differmaterially from its fair value at reporting date. The HNELHD conducts a comprehensive revaluation at least every three yearsfor its land and buildings and infrastructure. Interim desktop revaluations are conducted between comprehensive revaluationsfor those assets, where cumulative changes to indicators suggest fair value may differ materially from carrying value. TheHNELHD uses an independent professionally qualified valuer for such revaluations.
An interim management revaluation was completed on 31 March 2020 as a result of a cumulative increase in indicators of 4%for land and buildings and 4% for infrastructure. The HNELHD used an external professionally qualified valuer to conduct theinterim revaluation. Indicators provided by Opteon Solutions were not applied as they were deemed immaterial.

Where an asset that has previously been revalued is disposed of, any balance remaining in the revaluation surplus in respectof that asset is transferred to accumulated funds.
After an impairment loss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used todetermine the asset’s recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed itsrecoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had noimpairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in net result and is treated as arevaluation increase. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same class of asset was previously recognised innet result, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in net result.
As a not-for-profit entity, an impairment loss is recognised in the net result to the extent the impairment loss exceeds theamount in the revaluation surplus for the class of asset.
Specialised assets held for continuing use of their service capacity are rarely sold and their cost of disposal is typicallynegligible. Their recoverable amount is expected to be materially the same as fair value, where they are regularly revaluedunder AASB 13.
The HNELHD assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indicationexists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the HNELHD estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written downto its recoverable amount.
As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, impairment under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets is unlikely to arise.As property, plant and equipment is carried at fair value or an amount that approximates fair value, impairment can only arisein the rare circumstances such as where the costs of disposal are material.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected fromits use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of theasset and are included in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
As a not-for-profit entity, revaluation increments and decrements are offset against one another within a class of non-currentassets, but not otherwise.
Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately as a loss in the net result, except to the extent that it offsets an existingrevaluation surplus on the same class of assets, in which case, the decrement is debited directly to the revaluation surplus.
Revaluation increments are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to revaluation surplus in equity. However,to the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of the same class of asset previously recognisedas a loss in the net result, the increment is recognised immediately as a gain in the net result.
When revaluing non-current assets using the cost approach, the gross amount and the related accumulated depreciation areseparately restated. Where the income approach or market approach is used, accumulated depreciation is eliminated againstthe gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Derecognition of property, plant and equipment
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financialyear end and adjusted if appropriate.

From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding leaseliability for most leases.
The HNELHD leases various property, equipment and motor vehicles. Lease contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 8 years, but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range ofdifferent terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants but leased assets may not be used assecurity for borrowing purposes. The HNELHD does not provide residual value guarantees in relation to leases.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases. These terms are used tomaximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held areexercisable only by the HNELHD and not by the respective lessor. In determining the lease term, management considers allfacts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a terminationoption. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonablycertain to be extended (or not terminated).
The HNELHD has elected to recognise payments for short-term leases and low value leases as expenses on a straight linebasis, instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12months or less. Low value assets are assets with a fair value of $10,000 or less when new and comprise mainly of small officeand medical equipment items.
The following table presents right-of-use assets. There are no right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investmentproperty.

Recognition and Measurement (under AASB 16 from 1 July 2019)
The HNELHD recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use theunderlying assets, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The HNELHD assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys theright to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as at 30 June 2019 are, as follows:
The HNELHD entered into a number of leases, with lease terms ranging from 5 to 28 years with various local councils and theCalvary Mater Newcastle for the use of hospital campus land and community health buildings. The contract specifies leasepayments of $1 per annum. The leased premise is be used by the HNELHD to provide different community health services.The hospital campus land and community health buildings account for a small portion of the similar assets the HNELHD isusing for the purpose of providing community services. Therefore it does not have a significant impact on the HNELHD'soperations.

At the commencement date of the lease, the HNELHD recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of leasepayments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include:
● fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
● variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
● amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees;
● exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the HNELHD; and
● payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the HNELHD exercising the option toterminate.
Right-of-use assets
The HNELHD recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset isavailable for use). Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of initial measurement of the lease liability(refer (ii) below), adjusted by any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, lease incentives, any initialdirect costs incurred, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset or restoring the site.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined,which is generally the case for real estate leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used. The HNELHD does not borrowfunds in the market. Instead they receive an allocation of the appropriations from the Crown Entity and where the CrownEntity needs additional funding, Treasury Corporation (TCorp) goes to the market to obtain these funds. As a result, theHNELHD is using TCorp rates as their incremental borrowing rates. These rates are published by NSW Treasury on aregular basis.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurredto produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
Lease liabilities
The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost. They are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorterof the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the HNELHD at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise ofa purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. The HNELHD assesses, at each reporting date, whether there isan indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset isrequired, the HNELHD estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds itsrecoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. After an impairmentloss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’srecoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverableamount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment lossbeen recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the net result.

iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
iv. Leases that have significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entity to further its objectives
The HNELHD’s lease liabilities are included in borrowings in Note 29.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reducedfor the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in anindex or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase theunderlying asset.
Until 30 June 2019, a lease was classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease thattransferred substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the HNELHD was classified as a finance lease.
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at theinception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of aspecific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset (or assets), even if that asset (or those assets)is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Recognition and measurement (under AASB 117 until 30 June 2019)
The initial and subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets under leases at significantly below-market terms andconditions that are entered into principally to enable the HNELHD to further its objectives is the same as normal right-of-use assets. They are measured at cost, subject to impairment.
The HNELHD applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of buildings, machinery, motorvehicles and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date anddo not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of officeequipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets arerecognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments were recognised as an operating expensein the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases was depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, ifthere is no reasonable certainty that the HNELHD will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset wasdepreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Where a non-current asset was acquired by means of a finance lease, at the commencement of the lease, the asset wasrecognised at its fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability wasestablished at the same amount. Lease payments were apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the leaseliability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges were recognisedin finance costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Recognition and Measurement
Hunter New England Local Health District leases few retail spaces located within the hospital precincts under operating leaseswith rental payable monthly. Lease payments generally contain uplift clauses to align to the market conditions.
An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis overthe lease terms and is included in revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income due to its operating nature. Initial directcosts incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset andrecognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the periodin which they are earned.
Lessor for operating leases
Finance income arising from finance leases is recognised over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constantperiodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease.
At the lease commencement date, the HNELHD recognises a receivable for assets held under a finance lease in its Statementof Financial Position at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The net investment in leases is classified asfinancial assets amortised cost and equals the lease payments receivable by a lessor and the unguaranteed residual value,plus initial direct costs, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease.
Leases that the HNELHD transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified asfinance leases. From 1 July 2019, subleases are classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease,rather than by reference to the underlying asset.

Year ended 30 June 2020
Amortisation (recognised in depreciation and amortisation)
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.
All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met
The HNELHD recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the HNELHD and thecost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at noor nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets aresubsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the HNELHD's intangibleassets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
The HNELHD's intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over a period of four years.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than itscarrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairmentloss.
Computer software developed or acquired by the HNELHD are recognised as intangible assets. Most computer software isacquired from the Health Administration Corporation, a controlled entity of the immediate parent. The amortisation period andthe amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reportingperiod.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction tosell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of aprincipal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
A number of the HNELHD’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial andnon-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring fair value, the valuation technique used maximises the use of relevantobservable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs. Under AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, the HNELHDcategorises, for disclosure purposes, the valuation techniques based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets / liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

25. Fair value measurement of non-financial assets (continued)
(b)
Non-current assets held for sale is a non-recurring item that is measured at the lower of its fair value less cost to sell or itscarrying amount. These assets are categorised as level 2.
For land, buildings and infrastructure systems the HNELHD obtains external valuations by independent valuers at leastevery three years. The last revaluation was performed by Opteon Solutions for the 2018-19 financial year. OpteonSolutions is an independent entity and is not an associated entity of the HNELHD.
Valuation techniques, inputs and processes
At the end of each reporting period a fair value assessment is made on any movements since the last revaluation, and adetermination as to whether any adjustments need to be made. These adjustments are made by way of application ofindices (refer Note 22 reconciliation).
The non-current assets categorised in (a) above have been measured as either level 2 or level 3 based on the followingvaluation techniques and inputs:
For land, the valuation by the valuer is made on a market approach, comparing similar assets (not identical) andobservable inputs. The most significant input is price per square metre.
All commercial and non-restricted land is included in level 2 as these land valuations have a high level of observableinputs although these lands are not identical.
All of the restricted land has been classified as level 3 as, although observable inputs have been used, a significant levelof professional judgement is required to adjust inputs in determining the land valuations. Certain parcels of land havezoning restrictions, for example hospital grounds, and values are adjusted accordingly.
For buildings and infrastructure, many assets are of a specialised nature or use, and thus the most appropriate valuationmethod is depreciated replacement cost. These assets are included as level 3 as these assets have a high level ofunobservable inputs. However, residential properties are valued on a market approach and included in level 2.
The property market is being impacted by the significant uncertainty that the COVID-19 outbreak has caused. Salesevidence have been utilised across the HNELHD to assess the land and non-specialised properties, in line with thevaluation by the valuers made on a market approach.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Borrowings classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributabletransaction costs. These are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and lossesare recognised in the net result when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.
Finance lease liabilities are determined in accordance with AASB 117 Leases until 30 June 2019. From 1 July 2019, leaseliabilities are determined in accordance with AASB 16.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the HNELHD has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabilityfor at least 12 months after the reporting date. Refer to Note 40 (b) for derecognition policy.
No assets have been pledged as security / collateral for liabilities and there are no restrictions on any title to property.
Final repayment date for ‘Other loans and deposits’ is June 2027.
Other loans still to be extinguished represent monies to be repaid to the Health Administration Corporation, an entity controlledby the immediate parent; the immediate parent itself; and the NSW Treasury, which is controlled by the ultimate parent.
Details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including a maturity analysis of the above borrowings are disclosed inNote 40.

When Stage 1 construction was completed in January 2008, the former Hunter New England Area Health Service(HNEAHS) transferred the Mater hospital to Calvary Mater Newcastle and recognised the transfer as a grant expense of$71.33M. The recognition was based on the fact that services are delivered by Little Company of Mary Health Care beinga Third Schedule Hospital health care provider which is outside the accounting control of either the former HNEAHS or theMinistry of Health. Upon completion of the Project, the former HNEAHS transferred the other parts of the new Hospitaland recognised the transfer of a grant expense of $35.48M in June 2009.
In 2005-06, the Health Administration Corporation entered into a contract with a private sector provider, NovaCare ProjectPartnership for financing, design, construction and commissioning of a new Mater Hospital, a mental health facility andrefurbishment of existing buildings, and facilities management and delivery of ancillary non-clinical services on the siteuntil November 2033. The redevelopment was completed in three stages. Stage 1 was completed in January 2008followed by Stage 2 in February 2009. Construction of Stage 3 was completed on 16 June 2009.
Minimum lease payments in relation to PPP finance leases recognised under AASB 117 Leases as required by TPP 06-08 are payable as follows:
The present value of PPP finance lease payments is as follows:
The Public, Private Partnership relate to the provision of service-enabling infrastructure that includes private sectordelivering a combination of design, construction, financing, maintenance, operations and delivery of clinical and non-clinical services. Payments are made by the HNELHD to the private sector entities on the basis of delivery of assets orservice delivery. The liability to pay the private sector entities is based on financing arrangements involving ConsumerPrice Index (CPI)-linked finance and fixed finance.

Movements in provisions (other than employee benefits)
Movements in other provisions during the financial year, other than employee benefits, are set out below:
Specific on-costs relating to long service leave assumed by the Crown Entity are borne by the HNELHD.
Employee benefits and other provisions
Salaries and wages, annual leave, sick leave, allocated days off (ADO) and on-costs
Salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits) and paid sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured at theundiscounted amounts of the benefits.
Annual leave and ADO are not expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period inwhich the employees render the related service. As such, they are required to be measured at present value in accordancewith AASB 119 Employee Benefits (although short-cut methods are permitted).
Actuarial advice obtained by NSW Treasury, a controlled entity of the ultimate parent, has confirmed that using the nominalannual leave balance plus the annual leave entitlements accrued while taking annual leave can be used to approximate thepresent value of the annual leave liability. On-costs of 18.31% are applied to the value of leave payable at 30 June 2020(comparable on-costs for 30 June 2019 were 18.20%). The HNELHD has assessed the actuarial advice based on theHNELHD’s circumstances to both the annual leave and ADO and has determined that the effect of discounting is immaterial.All annual leave and ADO are classified as a current liability even where the HNELHD does not expect to settle the liabilitywithin 12 months as the HNELHD does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement.
Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in thefuture will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.
Long service leave and superannuation
The HNELHD's liability for long service leave and defined benefit superannuation (State Authorities Superannuation Schemeand State Superannuation Scheme) are assumed by the Crown Entity, which is a controlled entity of the ultimate parent. TheHNELHD accounts for the liability as having been extinguished, resulting in the amount assumed being shown as part of thenon-monetary revenue item described as 'Acceptance by the Crown Entity of employee benefits'.

Other provisions are recognised when: the HNELHD has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event;it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation. When the HNELHD expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under aninsurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtuallycertain. The expense relating to a provision is presented net of any reimbursement in the Statement of ComprehensiveIncome.
The superannuation expense for the financial year is determined by using the formulae specified in the Treasurer’s Directions.The expense for certain superannuation schemes (i.e. Basic Benefit and First State Super) is calculated as a percentage ofthe employee's salary. For other superannuation schemes (i.e. State Superannuation Scheme and State AuthoritiesSuperannuation Scheme), the expense is calculated as a multiple of the employee's superannuation contributions.
Consequential costs to employment are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which theyrelate have been recognised. This includes outstanding amounts of workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringebenefits tax.
Consequential on-costs
Long service leave is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services providedup to the reporting date. Consideration is given to certain factors based on actuarial review, including expected future wageand salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted usingthe long-term Commonwealth Government bond rate at the reporting date.
Any provisions for restructuring are recognised only when the HNELHD has a detailed formal plan, and the HNELHD hasraised a valid expectation in those affected by the restructuring that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implementthe plan or announcing its main features to those affected.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time (i.e. unwinding of discount rate) is recognised as a finance cost.

NSW Health's budget is shown at a consolidated level when presented in parliament each year (i.e. in the NSW GovernmentBudget Papers). The HNELHD's budget is not presented in parliament, therefore AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting is notapplicable. Unlike the requirement in AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting to present original budget information, the HNELHD'sfinancial statements present adjusted budget information. The adjusted budgeted amounts are drawn from the initial ServiceAgreements between the HNELHD and the NSW Ministry of Health at the beginning of the financial year, as well as anyadjustments for the effects of additional supplementation provided in accordance with delegations to derive a final budget atyear end (i.e. adjusted budget). The budget amounts are not subject to audit and, accordingly, the relevant budget entries inthe financial statements are unaudited.

Recognition and Measurement
Equity transfers
Equity (continued)
The transfer of net assets between entities as a result of an administrative restructure, transfers of programs/functions andparts thereof between entities controlled by the ultimate parent are recognised as an adjustment to 'Accumulated Funds'. Thistreatment is consistent with AASB 1004 Contributions and Australian Accounting Interpretation 1038 Contributions by OwnersMade to Wholly-Owned Public Sector Entities.
Transfers arising from an administrative restructure involving not-for-profit entities and for-profit government entities arerecognised at the amount at which the asset was recognised by the transferor immediately prior to the restructure. Subject tobelow, in most instances this will approximate fair value.
All other equity transfers are recognised at fair value, except for intangibles. Where an intangible has been recognised atamortised cost by the transferor because there is no active market, the HNELHD recognises the asset at the transferor'scarrying amount. Where the transferor is prohibited from recognising internally generated intangibles, the HNELHD does notrecognise that asset.

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) isderecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or if the entity transfers itsrights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full withoutmaterial delay to a third party under a pass through arrangement and either:
● The HNELHD has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
● The HNELHD has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards for the asset, but hastransferred control.
The HNELHD determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities after initial recognition and, when allowed andappropriate, re-evaluates this at each financial year end.

The Chief Executive has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agreespolicies for managing each of these risks. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced bythe HNELHD, to set risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Compliance with policies is reviewed on a continuous basis.
The HNELHD's principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the HNELHD'soperations or are required to finance its operations. The HNELHD does not enter into or trade financial instruments, includingderivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The HNELHD's main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the HNELHD's objectives, policiesand processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout thesefinancial statements.

i.
When the HNELHD has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass througharrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. Where the HNELHDhas neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or transferred control, the asset continues to berecognised to the extent of the HNELHD's continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the HNELHD also recognisesan associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights andobligations that the entity has retained.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. Whenan existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of anexisting liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the originalliability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the netresult.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Statement of Financial Position ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a netbasis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises when there is the possibility that the counterparty will default on their contractual obligations, resulting in afinancial loss to the HNELHD. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of thefinancial assets (net of any allowance for credit losses).
Credit risk arises from financial assets of the HNELHD, including cash, receivables and authority deposits. No collateral isheld by the HNELHD. The HNELHD has not granted any financial guarantees.
Credit risk associated with the HNELHD's financial assets, other than receivables, is managed through the selection ofcounterparties and establishment of minimum credit rating standards. Authority deposits held with NSW TCorp areguaranteed by the State.
The HNELHD considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certaincases, the HNELHD may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates thatthe HNELHD is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any creditenhancements held by the HNELHD.
Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances deposited within the NSW Treasury banking system. Interest is earnedon daily bank balances at rates of approximately 0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 1.62%) in 2019-20 compared to0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 2.52%) in the previous year.
Cash and cash equivalents
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets have been grouped basedon shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
Accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables and other financial assets
Receivables - trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets
Collectability of trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Procedures asestablished in the Treasurer’s Directions are followed to recover outstanding amounts, including letters of demand.
The HNELHD applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expectedloss allowance for all trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets.

Notes
The expected loss rates are based on historical observed loss rates. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect currentand forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.The HNELHD has identified relevant factors, and accordingly has adjusted the historical loss rates based on expectedchanges in these factors.
Trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation ofrecovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others a failure to makecontractual payments for a period of greater than 90 days past due.
The loss allowance for trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 wasdetermined as follows:
The HNELHD is not materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors as at 30June 2020.
¹ The analysis excludes statutory receivables and prepayments as these are not within the scope of AASB7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Therefore the 'total' will not reconcile to the receivables total in Note 20.

The HNELHD has negotiated no loan outside of arrangements with the NSW Ministry of Health or NSW Treasury.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the HNELHD will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HNELHDcontinuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of highquality liquid assets. The objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use ofoverdrafts, loans and other advances.
During the current and prior year, there were no defaults of loans payable. No assets have been pledged as collateral.
For other suppliers, where settlement cannot be affected in accordance with the above, e.g. due to short term liquidityconstraints, contact is made with creditors and terms of payment are negotiated to the satisfaction of both parties.
For small business suppliers, where payment is not made within the specified time period, simple interest must be paidautomatically unless an existing contract specifies otherwise.
Liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced.Until the 30 June 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set bythe NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury Circular 11/12. For small business suppliers, where termsare not specified, payment is made not later than 5 days from the date of receipt of a correctly rendered invoice. For othersuppliers, if trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of a correctlyrendered invoice or a statement is received. From 1 July 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) aresettled in accordance with the policy set by the NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury. For all suppliers,that has a correctly rendered invoice, that has a matched purchase order and where goods have been received, animmediate payment is made irrespective of current contract payment terms.
The HNELHD has exposure to liquidity risk. However, the risk is minimised by the service agreement with the NSW Ministryof Health, as the annual service agreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meetbenchmarks for the payment of creditors. Where the HNELHD fails to meet service agreement performance standards, theMinistry as the state manager can take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, includingproviding financial support and increased management interaction (refer Note 1).

(e) Fair value measurement
i. Fair value compared to carrying amount
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that thetransaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or in theabsence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The amortised cost of financial instruments recognised in the Statement of Financial Position approximates the fair value,because of the short term nature of many of the financial instruments.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. The HNELHD's exposures to market risk are primarily through interest rate risk on the HNELHD'sborrowings and other price risks associated with the movement in the Hour Glass Investment Facilities. The HNELHD hasno exposure to foreign currency risk and does not enter into commodity contracts.
The effect on net result and equity due to a reasonably possible change in risk variable is outlined in the information below,for interest rate risk and other price risk. A reasonably possible change in risk variable has been determined after takinginto account the economic environment in which the HNELHD operates and the time frame for the assessment (i.e. untilthe end of the next annual reporting period). The sensitivity analysis is based on risk exposures in existence at theStatement of Financial Position date. The analysis is performed on the same basis as for 2019. The analysis assumes thatall other variables remain constant.
Market risk
However, the HNELHD is not permitted to borrow external to the NSW Ministry of Health (except energy loans which arenegotiated through NSW Treasury). Both NSW Treasury and NSW Ministry of Health loans are set at fixed rates andtherefore are generally not affected by fluctuations in market rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily through the HNELHD's interest bearingliabilities. This risk is minimised by undertaking mainly fixed rate borrowings, primarily through NSW TCorp. The HNELHDdoes not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through othercomprehensive income. Therefore, for these financial instruments, a change in interest rates would not affect profit or lossor equity. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates (based on officialReserve Bank of Australia interest rate volatility over the last five years). The basis will be reviewed annually and amendedwhere there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility.
20192020$000 $000
Therefore the fair value of the financial instruments does not differ from the carrying amount.

Mid North Coast Local Health District
Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Mid North Coast Local Health District
To Members of the New South Wales Parliament
Opinion
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Mid North Coast Local Health District
(the District), which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended
30 June 2020, the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020, the Statement of Changes in
Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a Statement of
Significant Accounting Policies and other explanatory information of the District and the consolidated
entity. The consolidated entity comprises the District and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or
from time to time during the financial year.
In my opinion, the financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the financial position of the District and the consolidated entity as at
30 June 2020, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
• are in accordance with section 45E of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (PF&A Act) and
the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2015.
My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under the
standards are described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements’
section of my report.
I am independent of the District and the consolidated entity in accordance with the requirements of
the:
• Australian Auditing Standards
• Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards)’ (APES 110).
I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with APES 110.
Parliament promotes independence by ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of
New South Wales are not compromised in their roles by:
• providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an
Auditor-General
• mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies
• precluding the Auditor-General from providing non-audit services.
I believe the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my
audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter – Presentation of Budget Information
Without modification to the opinion expressed above, I draw attention to the basis of presenting
adjusted budget information detailed in Note 38. The note states that AASB 1055 ‘Budgetary
Reporting’ is not applicable to the District. It also states that, unlike the requirement in AASB 1055
‘Budgetary Reporting’ to present original budget information, the District’s financial statements present
adjusted budget information.
The Chief Executive’s Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The Chief Executive is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the PF&A Act, and for such internal control
as the Chief Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Chief Executive is responsible for assessing the ability of the
District and the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
My objectives are to:
• obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
• issue an Independent Auditor’s Report including my opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee an audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect material misstatements.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or
in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions users take
based on the financial statements.
A description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf. The
description forms part of my auditor’s report.
The scope of my audit does not include, nor provide assurance:
• that the District or the consolidated entity carried out their activities effectively, efficiently and
economically
• about the assumptions used in formulating the budget figures disclosed in the financial
statements
• about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial
statements on any website where they may be presented
• about any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.

b)
The District's financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared on an accrual basisand in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) (which include Australian AccountingInterpretations), the requirements of the Health Services Act 1997 and its regulations (including observation of the Accountsand Audit Determination for Public Health Organisations), the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the Act) and the PublicFinance and Audit Regulation 2015, and the NSW Treasurer's Directions issued under the Act. The financial statementscomply with the NSW Treasury mandates circular for NSW General Government Sector Entities.
The financial statements of the District have been prepared on a going concern basis.
In alignment with the approach of other States and Territories, and following a recommendation by the National Cabinet ofCommonwealth, the 2020-21 NSW Budget has been deferred until 17 November 2020. On this basis, the Secretary of NSWHealth, the Chair of the Mid North Coast Local Health District Board and the Chief Executive, through an interim ServiceAgreement, have agreed to service and funding levels for the forward financial year. The interim Service Agreement providesfor 48 per cent of the LHD’s annual funding.
Mid North Coast Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020
The Mid North Coast Local Health District (the District) was established under the provisions of the Health Services Act 1997with effect from 1 January 2011.
The District is a NSW Government entity and is controlled by the NSW Ministry of Health, which is the immediate parent. Thereporting entity is also controlled by the State of New South Wales (and is consolidated as part of the NSW Total State SectorAccounts), which is the ultimate parent. The reporting entity is a not-for-profit entity (as profit is not its principal objective).
The District, as a reporting entity, comprises all the entities under its control, namely:
As a consequence the values in the financial statements presented herein consist of the parent entity and the consolidatedentity which comprises the parent and special purpose service entity. In the process of preparing the consolidated financialstatements consisting of the controlling and controlled entities, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated,and like transactions and other events are accounted for using uniform accounting policies.
These consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been authorised for issue by the ChiefExecutive on the 11th of September 2020.
The parent entity comprises all the operating activities of the Hospital Facilities and the Community Health Centres underits control. It also encompasses the Restricted Assets (as disclosed in Note 28), which, while containing assets which arerestricted for specified uses by the grantor or the donor, are nevertheless controlled by the parent entity.
When the NSW Budget is handed down in November 2020-21, the interim Service Agreement and funding arrangements willbe replaced with a full-year 2020-21 Service Agreement and budget. The Service Agreement sets out the level of financialresources for public health services under the District's control and the source of these funds. By agreement, the ServiceAgreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meet benchmarks for the payment ofcreditors. Where the District fails to meet Service Agreement performance standards, the NSW Ministry of Health as the statemanager will take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, including financial support andincreased management interaction by the NSW Ministry of Health.

Certain comparative information has been reclassified to ensure consistency with current year presentation and classification.
All amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and are expressed in Australian currency, which is the District'spresentation and functional currency.
Allocated funds, combined with other revenues earned, are adequate to pay debts as and when they become due andpayable.
The District has the capacity to review the timing of NSW Ministry of Health allocation cash flows to ensure that debts canbe paid when they become due and payable.
The District has developed an Efficiency and Improvement Plan (EIP) which identifies revenue improvement and costsaving strategies. Benefits from the EIP are retained by the District and assist in meeting its overall budget target. TheEIP is monitored and evaluated by the NSW Ministry of Health throughout the financial year.
Comparative Information
Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative information is disclosed in respectof the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.
Despite the impact of COVID-19, the going concern assumption remains appropriate. Reasons for this include:
Property, plant and equipment, assets held for sale and certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Otherfinancial statement items are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except where specified otherwise.
Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financialstatements.
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards which include Australian AccountingInterpretations.
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flowsarising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office areclassified as operating cash flows.
The Commonwealth has entered a National Partnership Agreement, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Statesand Territories, including NSW. The Agreement will deliver funding to public hospitals and provide stability and certainty of funding while ensuring access to new life saving therapies in public hospitals. The District is subject to additional NSWMinistry of Health recurrent and capital allocations to provide for costs incurred related to COVID-19 activities and toensure debts can be paid as and when they become due and payable.
Following the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in late February 2020, the District has seen a decline in normalhospital activities. Restrictions were imposed by the Australian Government resulting in the suspension of non-urgent electivesurgeries to ensure increased capacity across the health system. Critical resources were reassigned to plan and prepare forpossible surges as a result of the outbreak. The unprecedented measures undertaken by both the Australian and Stategovernments to contain the spread of COVID-19, have resulted in significant impacts to the economy and within the healthsector.

The District applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities, andAASB 16 Leases for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of these new accountingstandards are described below.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019-20, but do not have an impact on thefinancial statements of the District.
Changes in accounting policy, including new or revised Australian Accounting Standards
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15)
AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies,with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. AASB 15 establishes a five-step model toaccount for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount thatreflects the consideration to which the District expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to acustomer.
AASB 15 requires the District to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstanceswhen applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting forthe incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standardrequires relevant disclosures.
In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15, the District has adopted AASB 15 retrospectively with thecumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019. The Districthas used the transitional practical expedient permitted by the standard to reflect the aggregate effect of all of themodifications that occur before 1 July 2018 when:
The accounting policies applied in 2019-20 are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as a result ofnew or revised Australian Accounting Standards that have been applied for the first time as follows:

The reason for the changes in grants and other contributions is due to the non-recurring nature of grants and contributionsreceived and varying nature of performance obligations across grant contracts resulting in different timing of revenuereceived.
AASB 1058 replaces most of the existing requirements in AASB 1004 Contributions. The scope of AASB 1004 is nowlimited mainly to contributions by owners (including parliamentary appropriations that satisfy the definition of a contributionby owners), administrative arrangements and liabilities of government departments assumed by other entities.
AASB 1058 applies to income with a donation component, i.e. transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset issignificantly less than fair value principally to enable a not-for-profit entity to further its objectives; and volunteer services.AASB 1058 adopts a residual approach, meaning that entities first apply other applicable Australian AccountingStandards (e.g. AASB 1004, AASB 15, AASB 16, AASB 9, AASB 137) to a transaction before recognising income.
Not-for-profit entities need to determine whether a transaction is/contains a donation (accounted for under AASB 1058) ora contract with a customer (accounted for under AASB 15).

(b) Income from grants to construct non-financial assets to be controlled by the entity were previously recognised uponreceipt of cash. Under the new revenue recognition requirements of AASB 1058, income should have beenrecognised over time as the non-financial assets are being constructed. This has led to the deferral of grant incomewhere the entity has not yet satisfied its obligations to construct the assets.
AASB 16 requires the District to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting forfinance leases under AASB 117. As the lessee, the District recognises a lease liability and right-of-use asset at theinception of the lease. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the future lease payments, discounted usingthe interest rate implicit in the lease, or the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the leasecannot be readily determined. The corresponding right-of-use asset is measured at the value of the lease liability adjustedfor lease payments before inception, lease incentives, initial direct costs and estimates of costs for dismantling andremoving the asset or restoring the site on which it is located.
The reason for the changes in grants and other contributions is due to the timing of revenue received to construct non-financial assets to be controlled by the entity.
AASB 16 Leases
The District has adopted the partial retrospective option in AASB 16, where the cumulative effect of initially applyingAASB 16 is recognised on 1 July 2019 and the comparatives for the year ended 30 June 2019 are not restated.
In relation to leases that had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under AASB 117, a lease liability isrecognised at 1 July 2019 at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’sincremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rateapplied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 1.46%.
The corresponding right-of-use asset is initially recorded on transition at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted bythe amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the Statement of FinancialPosition as at 30 June 2019.
The District elected to use the practical expedient to expense lease payments for lease contracts that, at theircommencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases),and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is valued at $10,000 or under when new (low-value assets).
AASB 16 supersedes AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease,Interpretation 115 Operating Leases – Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of TransactionsInvolving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentationand disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise most leases on the Statement of Financial Position.
Lessor accounting
Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify leases aseither operating or finance leases using similar principles as in AASB 117. Therefore, AASB 16 does not have asignificant impact for leases where the entity is the lessor.
Lessee accounting
For leases previously classified as finance leases the District recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and leaseliability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date ofinitial application. The measurement principles of AASB 16 are only applied after that date.

Upon review, the District has not identified any arrangements in scope of AASB 1059.
The District has completed its impact assessment of AASB 1059 by reviewing all material arrangements where the privatesector is performing any services on behalf of the District. Any identified arrangements have been assessed whether itfalls within the scope of AASB 1059. If it does meet the scoping guidelines of AASB 1059, financial impacts werecalculated.
Overview of Assessment Activities
AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements
AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements is applicable to public sector entities only and is effective for annualperiods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. This standard requires the grantor to recognise a service concession assetin a service concession arrangement where it controls the asset. A corresponding financial liability and/or grant of rightliability is also recognised depending on the nature of the consideration exchanged. Service concession assets (includingthose provided by the operator, an upgrade to or a major component replacement of an existing asset of the grantor; andexisting assets of the grantor – also applicable to previously unrecognised intangible assets except goodwill) are initiallymeasured at current replacement cost based on AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement principles. They are subsequentlyaccounted for under AASB 116 Property, Plant & Equipment or AASB 138 Intangible Assets. Service concession liabilitiesare initially measured at the same amount as the service concession asset and subsequently measured using either the'financial liability' model applying AASB 9 Financial Instruments or, the 'grant of right' model under AASB 1059 ServiceConcession Arrangements. AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements requires retrospective application.

Operating leases
Lease expense (up to 30 June 2019)
Operating expenses generally represent the day-to-day running costs incurred in the normal operations of the District. Thesecosts are expensed as incurred. The recognition and measurement policy for non-employee related expenses is detailed inNote 29.
Lease expense (from 1 July 2019)
Up to 30 June 2019, operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the Statement of ComprehensiveIncome on a straight-line basis over the lease term. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.
Variable lease payments are not included in the measurement of the lease liability (i.e. variable lease payments that do notdepend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date). These payments arerecognised in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.
Recognition and Measurement
Other expenses (continued)
Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred except where they relate to the replacementor enhancement of a part or component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.
Lease expense
The District's insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund (TMF) Scheme of self insurance forgovernment entities. The expense / (premium) is determined by the fund manager based on past claims experience. The TMFis managed by NSW Self Insurance Corporation (SiCorp), a controlled entity of the ultimate parent.
Insurance
Leases of assets that are valued at $10,000 or under when new.
Leases that meet the definition of short-term. i.e. where the lease term at commencement of the lease is 12 months orless. This excludes leases with a purchase option.
From 1 July 2019, the District recognises the lease payments associated with the following types of leases as an expense on astraight-line basis:

Recognition and Measurement
10. NSW Ministry of Health allocations
Until 30 June 2019, income is recognised in accordance with AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and AASB1004 Contributions.
From 1 July 2019, income is recognised in accordance with the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts withCustomers (AASB 15) or AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (AASB 1058), dependent on whether there is a contractwith a customer defined by AASB 15.
Payments are made by the immediate parent as per the Service Agreement to the District and adjusted for approvedsupplementations, mostly for salary agreements and approved enhancement projects. The Service Agreement between theimmediate parent and the District does not contain sufficiently specific enforceable performance obligations as defined by AASB15 and are therefore recognised upon the receipt of cash, in accordance with AASB 1058.
Interstate patient flows are funded through the NSW State Pool Account, based on activity and consistent with the pricedetermined in cross border agreements. The funding is also recognised as part of the NSW Ministry of Health recurrentallocation from the immediate parent.
The District recognised additional NSW Ministry of Health recurrent allocations of $8,649 thousand and NSW Ministry of Healthcapital allocations of $130 thousand to cover costs incurred with preparation, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Under the GSF Act 2018, the District’s own source revenue (which includes but is not limited to receipts from NSW Ministry ofHealth recurrent and capital allocations, patient fees, non-patient fees, grants and other contributions, other ancillary services,proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and proceeds from borrowings and advances) meets the definition ofdeemed appropriation money under the GSF Act (Section 4.7).
Deemed appropriation money is money received directly by the District which forms part of the consolidated fund and is notappropriated to the District by an Act.

Rendering of services from contracts with customers (from 1 July 2019)
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when the District satisfies the performance obligation by transferring thepromised services. Revenue is typically recognised as follows:
Department of Veterans' Affairs
Revenue for highly specialised drugs is paid by the Commonwealth in accordance with the terms of the Commonwealthagreement through Medicare and reflects the recoupment of costs incurred under Section 100 of the National Health Act1953 for highly specialised drugs. The agreement provides for the provision of medicines for the treatment of chronicconditions where specific criteria are met in respect of admitted day patients, non admitted patients or patients ondischarge. Revenue is recognised when the drugs have been provided to the patient.
Motor Accident Authority third party
A bulk billing agreement exists in which motor vehicle insurers' effect payment directly to NSW Health for the hospital costsfor those persons hospitalised or attending for inpatient treatment as a result of motor vehicle accidents. The Districtrecognises the revenue on an accrual basis from the time the patient is treated or admitted into hospital.
Highly specialised drugs
Rendering of services (until 30 June 2019)
Revenue is recognised when the service is provided or by reference to the type and stage of services provided to date.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the District satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the promisedgoods. Sale of goods comprises of pharmacy sales, sale of prosthesis and other items. The District typically satisfies itsperformance obligations when the control of goods is transferred to the customer. The payments are typically due wheninvoiced.
Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, and revenue is only recognised to theextent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the salesare made with a short credit term. No volume discount or warranty is provided on the sale.
Patient fees are derived from chargeable inpatients and non-inpatients on the basis of rates specified by the NSW Ministryof Health. Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided to the patient.
Patient fees
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under various contracts. No element of financing is deemed present aspayments are due when the service is provided.
Refer to Note 30 for the disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations thatare unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period, and when the District expects to recognise theunsatisfied portion as revenue.
An agreement is in place with the Commonwealth Department of Veterans' Affairs through which direct funding is providedfor the provision of health services to entitled veterans. For inpatient services, revenue is recognised by the District on anaccrual basis by reference to patient admissions. Non admitted patients are recognised by the NSW Ministry of Health inthe form of a block grant.
Use of hospital facilities
Specialist doctors with rights of private practice are subject to an infrastructure charge, including service charges whereapplicable for the use of hospital facilities at rates determined by the NSW Ministry of Health.

- Chaplaincies and Pastoral Care- Pink Ladies / Hospital Auxiliaries- Patient Support Groups- Community Organisations- Health Education
Revenue from grants with sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the District satisfies a performanceobligation by transferring the promised goods or services. The District typically receives grants in respect of research, clinicaldrug trials and other community, health and wellbeing related projects. The District uses various methods to recogniserevenue over time, depending on the nature and terms and conditions of the grant contract. The payments are typically basedon agreed timetable or on achievement of different milestones set up in the contract.
Income from grants to acquire / construct a recognisable non-financial asset to be controlled by the District is recognised whenthe District satisfies its obligations under the transfer. The District satisfies the performance obligation under the transfer overtime as the non-financial assets are being constructed. The percentage of cost incurred is used to recognise income, becausethis most closely reflects the progress to completion.
Contributions are recognised at their fair value. Contributions of services are recognised when and only when a fair value ofthose services can be reliably determined and the services would be purchased if not donated.
Revenue from these grants is recognised based on the grant amount specified in the funding agreement/funding approval,and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element offinancing is deemed present as funding payments are usually received in advance or shortly after the relevant obligation issatisfied.
Receipt of these services, while important, is not recognised because typically such services would not have been purchasedif not donated.
Receipt of volunteer services is recognised when and only when the fair value of those services can be reliably determinedand the services would have been purchased if not donated. Volunteer services recognised are measured at fair value. TheDistrict receives volunteer services for the below activities:
Volunteer services
Income from grants without sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the District obtains control overthe granted assets (e.g. cash).
Refer to Note 30 for the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that have not been satisfied at the end ofthe year and when it is expected to be recognised as revenue.
- Counselling, Transport, Home Help and Patient Activities- Practical Support to Patients and Relatives- Patient Services, Fund Raising- Patient and Family Support
Income from grants (other than contributions by owners) is recognised when the entity obtains control over the contribution.The District is deemed to have assumed control when the grant is received or receivable.

Details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including financial assets that are either past due or impaired aredisclosed in Note 40.
All ‘regular way’ purchases or sales of receivables are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular waypurchases or sales are purchases or sales of receivables that require delivery of assets within the time frame established byregulation or convention in the marketplace.
For lease receivables, the District applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 Financial Instruments, where the lossallowance is based on lifetime ECLs.
For trade receivables, the District applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. The District recognises a loss allowancebased on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The District has established a provision matrix based on its historical creditloss experience for trade receivables, adjusted for forward looking factors specific to the receivable.
The District recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt financial assets not held at fair valuethrough profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the Districtexpects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The District holds receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them atamortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Changes are recognised in the net result for the yearwhen impaired, derecognised or through the amortisation process.
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Trade receivables that do notcontain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the District has changed the terms and conditions with its counterparties to offerdeferred payment terms to receive rental income from tenants, for a period of 6 months from 27 March 2020. The District hasa rental receivables balance amount of $68 thousand as at 30 June 2020. The expected impacts on the recoverability of thesereceivables is not considered significant.

Recognition and Measurement
Contract assets relate to the District's right to consideration in exchange for goods and services transferred to customers /works completed, but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rightsbecome unconditional. This usually occurs when the District issues an invoice to the customer. The balance of the contractassets relates to grants and other contributions for work completed but not yet invoiced as future work is required to becompleted before the District has the rights to invoice. Once all performance obligations are met and the District has rights toinvoice for the payment to be made, the contract asset is transferred to receivables.

Recognition and Measurement
Inventories held for distribution are stated at cost, adjusted when applicable, for any loss of service potential. A loss of servicepotential is identified and measured based on the existence of a current replacement cost that is lower than the carryingamount. Inventories (other than those held for distribution) are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost iscalculated using the weighted average cost method.
Obsolete items are disposed of in accordance with instructions issued by the NSW Ministry of Health.
The increase in medical and surgical supplies is a result of the District preparing for an increase in COVID-19 patients.Inventories held for distribution for COVID-19 are also consumed in the normal services provided by the District.

Recognition and Measurement
Other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus any transaction costs. Other financial assets include intra healthloans and deposits with a maturity of three months or more.
Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortised cost as they are held for collection ofcontractual cash flows solely representing payments of principal and interest. Impairment losses are presented as a separateline item in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in netresults and presented in other gains / (losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses.
The District uses the ratings from external credit rating agencies both to determine whether there has been a significantincrease in credit risk on the deposits and to estimate ECLs. These estimates are performed at every reporting date.
The District recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt financial assets not held at fair valuethrough profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the Districtexpects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk sinceinitial recognition, ECLs are based on default events possible within the next 12-months (i.e. a 12-month ECL). If there hasbeen a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected overthe remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (i.e. a lifetime ECL). In addition, the Districtconsiders that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
All ‘regular way’ purchases or sales of other financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regularway purchases or sales are purchases or sales of other financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frameestablished by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Refer to Note 40 for details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk arising from financial instruments.
The District term deposits are issued by financial institutions that have strong credit ratings and therefore considered to be lowcredit risk investments. Hence, the District measures the loss allowance for term deposits at an amount equal to a 12-monthECL. However, when there is a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetimeECL.

Property, plant and equipment held and used by the District
Where payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferredpayment amount is effectively discounted over the period of credit.
Property, plant and equipment acquired are initially recognised at cost and subsequently revalued at fair value lessaccumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the otherconsideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amountattributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian AccountingStandards.
Acquisition of property, plant and equipment
Health Administration Corporation, a controlled entity of the immediate parent, manages the approved major capital worksprogram for the NSW Ministry of Health and its controlled entities. Health Administration Corporation receives NSW Ministry ofHealth Capital Allocations and grants on behalf of the District and makes payments to contractors and suppliers. HealthAdministration Corporation initially records all costs incurred as work in progress or expenses and subsequently transfers tothe District. The costs are then accordingly reflected in the District financial statements. The District acquires most assets inthis manner.
Recognition and Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants atmeasurement date.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings are owned by the Health Administration Corporation. Land and buildings which are operated/occupied bythe District are deemed to be controlled by the District and are reflected as such in the financial statements.
Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition(see also assets transferred as a result of an equity transfer - Note 39).
Right-of-use assets acquired by lessees (under AASB 16 from 1 July 2019)

Finance leases acquired by lessees (Under AASB 117 until 30 June 2019)
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period andadjusted if appropriate.
'Infrastructure Systems' comprises public facilities which provide essential services and enhance the productive capacity of theeconomy including roads, bridges, water infrastructure and distribution works, sewerage treatment plants, seawalls and waterreticulation systems.
'Plant and equipment' comprises, among others, medical, computer and office equipment, motor vehicles and furniture andfittings.
Details of depreciation rates initially applied for major asset categories are as follows:
Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets so as to write off the depreciable amount of eachasset as it is consumed over its useful life to the District. Land is not a depreciable asset. All material identifiable componentsof assets are depreciated over their useful lives.
Property, plant and equipment assets costing $10,000 and above individually (or forming part of a network costing more than$10,000) are capitalised.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the asset’s useful life. However, if there isno reasonable certainty that the lessee entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated overthe shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2019 includes non-current assets acquired under finance leases only. The assetsare recognised at fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, at the inception of the lease.Property, plant and equipment does not include amounts in respect of operating leases.
Until 30 June 2019, AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117) distinguished between finance leases that effectively transfer from thelessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets, and operating leasesunder which the lessor does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards.
Therefore, at that date property, plant and equipment recognised under leases previously treated as finance leases underAASB 117 are derecognised. The right-of-use assets arising from these leases are recognised and included in the separateline item together with those arising from leases previously treated as operating leases under AASB 117.
From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset for most leases. The Districthas elected to present right-of-use assets separately in the Statement of Financial Position.

Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount of each asset in the class does not differmaterially from its fair value at reporting date. The District conducts a comprehensive revaluation at least every three years forits land and buildings and infrastructure. Interim desktop revaluations are conducted between comprehensive revaluations forthose assets, where cumulative changes to indicators suggest fair value may differ materially from carrying value. The Districtuses an independent professionally qualified valuer for such revaluations.
For other assets valued using other valuation techniques, any balances of accumulated depreciation existing at the revaluationdate in respect of those assets are credited to the asset accounts to which they relate. The net asset accounts are thenincreased or decreased by the revaluation increments or decrements.
Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost, as an approximation of fair value.The District has assessed that any difference between fair value and depreciated historical cost is unlikely to be material.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the District management performed an additional assessment to determine ifthe fair value of its property plant and equipment as at 30 June 2020 materially differed from the carrying value. Managementconcluded that there is no definitive or conclusive market evidence to support any material adjustments. No adjustments wereapplied as a result.
Fair value of property, plant and equipment is based on a market participants’ perspective, using valuation techniques (marketapproach, cost approach, income approach) that maximise relevant observable inputs and minimise unobservable inputs. Alsorefer to Note 27 for further information regarding fair value.
The last comprehensive revaluation was completed on 31 December 2019 and was based on an independent assessment.
Subsequent to the adoption of AASB 16, the District, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use asset at cost and a correspondinglease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment properties areincluded in Property, Plant and Equipment under the corresponding asset categories. Further information on right-of-useassets is contained in Note 25.
Further information on leases is contained in Note 25.
Property, plant and equipment is measured at the highest and best use by market participant's that is physically possible,legally permissible and financially feasible. The highest and best use must be available at a period that is not remote and takesinto account the characteristics of the asset being measured, including any socio-political restrictions imposed by government.In most cases, after taking into account these considerations, the highest and best use is the existing use. In limitedcircumstances, the highest and best use may be a feasible alternative use, where there are no restrictions on use or wherethere is a feasible higher restricted alternative use.
Physical non-current assets are valued in accordance with the 'Valuation of Physical Non-Current Assets at Fair Value' Policyand Guidelines Paper (TPP 14-01). This policy adopts fair value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, AASB116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 140 Investment Property.

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment (continued)
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Revaluation increments are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to revaluation surplus in equity. However,to the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of the same class of asset previously recognisedas a loss in the net result, the increment is recognised immediately as a gain in the net result.
When revaluing non-current assets using the cost approach, the gross amount and the related accumulated depreciation areseparately restated. Where the income approach or market approach is used, accumulated depreciation is eliminated againstthe gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Derecognition of property, plant and equipment
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financialyear end and adjusted if appropriate.
Where an asset that has previously been revalued is disposed of, any balance remaining in the revaluation surplus in respectof that asset is transferred to accumulated funds.
After an impairment loss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used todetermine the asset’s recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed itsrecoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had noimpairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in net result and is treated as arevaluation increase. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same class of asset was previously recognised innet result, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in net result.
As a not-for-profit entity, an impairment loss is recognised in the net result to the extent the impairment loss exceeds theamount in the revaluation surplus for the class of asset.
Specialised assets held for continuing use of their service capacity are rarely sold and their cost of disposal is typicallynegligible. Their recoverable amount is expected to be materially the same as fair value, where they are regularly revaluedunder AASB 13.
The District assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indicationexists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the District estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written downto its recoverable amount.
As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, impairment under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets is unlikely to arise.As property, plant and equipment is carried at fair value or an amount that approximates fair value, impairment can only arisein the rare circumstances such as where the costs of disposal are material.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected fromits use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of theasset and are included in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
As a not-for-profit entity, revaluation increments and decrements are offset against one another within a class of non-currentassets, but not otherwise.
Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately as a loss in the net result, except to the extent that it offsets an existingrevaluation surplus on the same class of assets, in which case, the decrement is debited directly to the revaluation surplus.

From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding leaseliability for most leases.
The District leases various property, equipment and motor vehicles. Lease contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 2to 6 years, but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range ofdifferent terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants but leased assets may not be used assecurity for borrowing purposes. The District does not provide residual value guarantees in relation to leases.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases. These terms are used tomaximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held areexercisable only by the District and not by the respective lessor. In determining the lease term, management considers allfacts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a terminationoption. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonablycertain to be extended (or not terminated).
The District has elected to recognise payments for short-term leases and low value leases as expenses on a straight linebasis, instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12months or less. Low value assets are assets with a fair value of $10,000 or less when new and comprise mainly of small officeand medical equipment items.
The following table presents right-of-use assets. There are no right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investmentproperty.

The District recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use theunderlying assets, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The District assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the rightto control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. The District assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is anindication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset isrequired, the District estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds itsrecoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. After an impairmentloss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’srecoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverableamount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment lossbeen recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the net result.
The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost. They are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorterof the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the District at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of apurchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
Refer to Note for the subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment properties.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the District recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of leasepayments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include:
● fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
● variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
● amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees;
● exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the District; and
● payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the District exercising the option tot terminate.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for real estate leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used. The District does not borrow funds in the market. Instead they receive an allocation of the appropriations from the Crown Entity and where the Crown Entity needs additional funding, Treasury Corporation (TCorp) goes to the market to obtain these funds. As a result, the District is using TCorp rates as their incremental borrowing rates. These rates are published by NSW Treasury on a regular basis.
Right-of-use assets
The District recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset isavailable for use). Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of initial measurement of the lease liability(refer (ii) below), adjusted by any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, lease incentives, any initialdirect costs incurred, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset or restoring the site.

iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
iv. Leases that have significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entity to further its objectives
The District applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of buildings, machinery, motorvehicles and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date anddo not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of officeequipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets arerecognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments were recognised as an operating expensein the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases was depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, ifthere is no reasonable certainty that the District will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset was depreciatedover the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Where a non-current asset was acquired by means of a finance lease, at the commencement of the lease, the asset wasrecognised at its fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability wasestablished at the same amount. Lease payments were apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the leaseliability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges were recognisedin finance costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis overthe lease terms and is included in revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income due to its operating nature. Initial directcosts incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset andrecognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the periodin which they are earned.

Recognition and Measurement
Recognition and measurement (under AASB 117 until 30 June 2019)
The initial and subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets under leases at significantly below-market terms andconditions that are entered into principally to enable the District to further its objectives is the same as normal right-of-useassets. They are measured at cost, subject to impairment.
The District’s lease liabilities are included in borrowings in Note 31.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reducedfor the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, achange in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in anindex or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase theunderlying asset.
Until 30 June 2019, a lease was classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease thattransferred substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the District was classified as a finance lease.
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at theinception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of aspecific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset (or assets), even if that asset (or those assets)is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

The District has certain non-current assets classified as held for sale, where their carrying amount will be recovered principallythrough a sale transaction, not through continuing use. Non-current assets held for sale are recognised at the lower of carryingamount and fair value less costs of disposal.
The non-current assets held for sale constitute assets that are surplus to requirements. The assets are being activelymarketed within a sales program which has been initiated and is expect to locate a buyer and complete the sale in the nexttwelve months. The assets held for sale comprise of 2 residential properties located in Kempsey and Macksville. PropertyNSW are coordinating with a sales agent to arrange the marketing and auction of the 2 properties. The asset sale process ispart of strategic asset management initiatives currently being undertaken by the District to fund other value added locallyfunded projects.

Non-current assets held for sale (Note 26)
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction tosell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of aprincipal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
A number of the District’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial andnon-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring fair value, the valuation technique used maximises the use of relevantobservable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs. Under AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, the Districtcategorises, for disclosure purposes, the valuation techniques based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets / liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

The property market is being impacted by the significant uncertainty that the COVID-19 outbreak has caused. Salesevidence have been utilised across the District to assess the land and non-specialised properties, in line with the valuationby the valuers made on a market approach.
AdditionsFair value as at 1 July 2019
At the end of each reporting period a fair value assessment is made on any movements since the last revaluation, and adetermination as to whether any adjustments need to be made. These adjustments are made by way of application ofindices (refer Note 24 reconciliation).
The non-current assets categorised in (a) above have been measured as either level 2 or level 3 based on the followingvaluation techniques and inputs:
For land, the valuation by the valuer is made on a market approach, comparing similar assets (not identical) andobservable inputs. The most significant input is price per square metre.
All commercial and non-restricted land is included in level 2 as these land valuations have a high level of observableinputs although these lands are not identical.
The majority of the restricted land has been classified as level 3 as, although observable inputs have been used, asignificant level of professional judgement is required to adjust inputs in determining the land valuations. Certain parcels ofland have zoning restrictions, for example hospital grounds, and values are adjusted accordingly.
For buildings and infrastructure, many assets are of a specialised nature or use, and thus the most appropriate valuationmethod is depreciated replacement cost. These assets are included as level 3 as these assets have a high level ofunobservable inputs. However, residential properties are valued on a market approach and included in level 2.
Reconciliation of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements
Fair value as at 30 June 2020
Non-current assets held for sale is a non-recurring item that is measured at the lower of its fair value less cost to sell or itscarrying amount. These assets are categorised as level 2.
There were no transfers between level 1 or 2 during the year ended 30 June 2020.
For land, buildings and infrastructure systems the District obtains external valuations by independent valuers at least everythree years. The last revaluation was performed by CBRE Valuation & Advisory Services for the 2019/20 financial year.CBRE Valuation & Advisory Services is an independent entity and is not an associated entity of the District.

Employee benefits and other provisions
Salaries and wages, annual leave, sick leave, allocated days off (ADO) and on-costs
Salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits) and paid sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured at theundiscounted amounts of the benefits.
Annual leave and ADO are not expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period inwhich the employees render the related service. As such, they are required to be measured at present value in accordancewith AASB 119 Employee Benefits (although short-cut methods are permitted).
Aggregate employee benefits and related on-costs

Mid North Coast Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020
32. Provisions (continued)
Actuarial advice obtained by NSW Treasury, a controlled entity of the ultimate parent, has confirmed that using the nominalannual leave balance plus the annual leave entitlements accrued while taking annual leave can be used to approximate thepresent value of the annual leave liability. On-costs of 18.7% are applied to the value of leave payable at 30 June 2020(comparable on-costs for 30 June 2019 were 18.4%). The District has assessed the actuarial advice based on the District’scircumstances to both the annual leave and ADO and has determined that the effect of discounting is immaterial. All annualleave and ADO are classified as a current liability even where the District does not expect to settle the liability within 12months as the District does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement.
Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in thefuture will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.
Long service leave and superannuation
The District's liability for long service leave and defined benefit superannuation (State Authorities Superannuation Scheme andState Superannuation Scheme) are assumed by the Crown Entity, which is a controlled entity of the ultimate parent. TheDistrict accounts for the liability as having been extinguished, resulting in the amount assumed being shown as part of the non-monetary revenue item described as 'Acceptance by the Crown Entity of employee benefits'.
The superannuation expense for the financial year is determined by using the formulae specified in the Treasurer’s Directions.The expense for certain superannuation schemes (i.e. Basic Benefit and First State Super) is calculated as a percentage ofthe employee's salary. For other superannuation schemes (i.e. State Superannuation Scheme and State AuthoritiesSuperannuation Scheme), the expense is calculated as a multiple of the employee's superannuation contributions.
Consequential costs to employment are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which theyrelate have been recognised. This includes outstanding amounts of workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringebenefits tax.
Consequential on-costs
Specific on-costs relating to long service leave assumed by the Crown Entity are borne by the District.
Long service leave is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services providedup to the reporting date. Consideration is given to certain factors based on actuarial review, including expected future wageand salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted usingthe long-term Commonwealth Government bond rate at the reporting date.

Net result
The actual Net Result was lower than adjusted budget by $15 million, primarily due to:
Assets and liabilities
Cash flows
NSW Health's budget is shown at a consolidated level when presented in parliament each year (i.e. in the NSW GovernmentBudget Papers). The District's budget is not presented in parliament, therefore AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting is notapplicable. Unlike the requirement in AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting to present original budget information, the District'sfinancial statements present adjusted budget information. The adjusted budgeted amounts are drawn from the initial ServiceAgreements between the District and the NSW Ministry of Health at the beginning of the financial year, as well as anyadjustments for the effects of additional supplementation provided in accordance with delegations to derive a final budget atyear end (i.e. adjusted budget). The budget amounts are not subject to audit and, accordingly, the relevant budget entries inthe financial statements are unaudited.
The 2019/2020 financial year presented unprecedented challenges for the MNLCHD.
Whilst total Assets are in line with budget, total liabilities were 10% higher than forecast, largely due to the increased annualleave and ADO provisions due to Covid-19, and the change in revenue accounting standard which lead to an increase inunearned revenue balances.
Closing cash balances were slightly lower than budget at year end, largely due to changes in cash management policieswhich came into effect during the year.
Continuing pressures on Patient Fees Inpatients revenue streams following recent Private Health Insurer policy amendments,including reductions in single room rates and coverage, which were further exacerbated by the bushfires and the Covid-19pandemic. Reducing DVA revenue, and certain performance obligations for grant revenue not being met in the current year,due to the impacts of Covid-19 and the bushfires.
Government Contibutions Revenue was below budget, which represents subsidy cash entitlement not fully drawn down. Inprevious years the Ministry has reduced the budget to match the actual cash drawn down, but the treatment of subsidysurpluses has been revised in the current year.
The Bushfire Emergency events, including smoke and respiratory emergency department presentations, staff absences andsmoke related maintenance, significantly impacted the MNCLHD results and operations in the current year. A bushfire relatedinsect infestation in theatres at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus, significantly impacted surgical activity.
The Covid-19 crisis continues to impact the District. In the first few months of the worldwide pandemic, the nationwidecancellation of elective surgery procedures, the worldwide phenomenon of a reduction in emergency departmentpresentations and lower bed utilisation all impacted activity targets. These factors also put further strain on patient feerevenue, which had already been under pressure for a number of years due to changes in private health fund policies, and thecontinued decline in DVA receipts. There was also significant investment in capital and increased expenditure to prepare, testand effectively deal with the crisis, as well as prepare for a possible second wave outbreak.

Subject tobelow, in most instances this will approximate fair value.
All other equity transfers are recognised at fair value, except for intangibles. Where an intangible has been recognised atamortised cost by the transferor because there is no active market, the District recognises the asset at the transferor's carryingamount. Where the transferor is prohibited from recognising internally generated intangibles, the District does not recognisethat asset.

The Chief Executive has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agreespolicies for managing each of these risks. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced bythe District, to set risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Compliance with policies is reviewed on a continuous basis.
The District's principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the District'soperations or are required to finance its operations. The District does not enter into or trade financial instruments, includingderivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The District's main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the District's objectives, policies andprocesses for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout thesefinancial statements.

(b) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilitiesA financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or if the entity transfers its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass through arrangement and either:
● The District has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
● The District has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards for the asset, but has transferred c control.
The District determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities after initial recognition and, when allowed andappropriate, re-evaluates this at each financial year end.

Collectability of trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Procedures asestablished in the Treasurer’s Directions are followed to recover outstanding amounts, including letters of demand.
The District applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expectedloss allowance for all trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets.
Credit risk arises when there is the possibility that the counterparty will default on their contractual obligations, resulting in afinancial loss to the District. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of thefinancial assets (net of any allowance for credit losses).
Credit risk arises from financial assets of the District, including cash, receivables and authority deposits. No collateral isheld by the District. The District has not granted any financial guarantees.
Credit risk associated with the District's financial assets, other than receivables, is managed through the selection ofcounterparties and establishment of minimum credit rating standards. Authority deposits held with NSW TCorp areguaranteed by the State.
The District considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certaincases, the District may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates thatthe District is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any creditenhancements held by the District.
Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances deposited within the NSW Treasury banking system. Interest is earnedon daily bank balances at rates of approximately 0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 1.10%) in 2019-20 compared to0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 2.36%) in the previous year. The TCorpIM Funds cash facility is discussed inmarket risk below.
Cash and cash equivalents
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets have been grouped basedon shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
Accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables and other financial assets
Receivables - trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets
Credit risk
When the District has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass througharrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. Where the District hasneither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or transferred control, the asset continues to berecognised to the extent of the District's continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the District also recognises anassociated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights andobligations that the entity has retained.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. Whenan existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of anexisting liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the originalliability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the netresult.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Statement of Financial Position ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a netbasis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Notes
Accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables and other financial assets (continued)
Receivables - trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets (continued)
Credit risk (continued)
The expected loss rates are based on historical observed loss rates. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect currentand forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.The District has identified relevant factors, and accordingly has adjusted the historical loss rates based on expectedchanges in these factors.
Trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation ofrecovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others a failure to makecontractual payments for a period of greater than 90 days past due.
The loss allowance for trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 wasdetermined as follows:
The District is not materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors as at 30June 2020.
¹ The analysis excludes statutory receivables and prepayments as these are not within the scope of AASB7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Therefore the 'total' will not reconcile to the receivables total in Note 20 and the contract assets total in Note 21.

During the current and prior year, there were no defaults of loans payable. No assets have been pledged as collateral.
For other suppliers, where settlement cannot be affected in accordance with the above, e.g. due to short term liquidityconstraints, contact is made with creditors and terms of payment are negotiated to the satisfaction of both parties.
For small business suppliers, where payment is not made within the specified time period, simple interest must be paidautomatically unless an existing contract specifies otherwise.
Liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced.Until the 30 June 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set bythe NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury Circular 11/12. For small business suppliers, where termsare not specified, payment is made not later than 5 days from the date of receipt of a correctly rendered invoice. For othersuppliers, if trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of a correctlyrendered invoice or a statement is received. From 1 July 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) aresettled in accordance with the policy set by the NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury. For all suppliers,that has a correctly rendered invoice, that has a matched purchase order and where goods have been received, animmediate payment is made irrespective of current contract payment terms.
The District has exposure to liquidity risk. However, the risk is minimised by the service agreement with the NSW Ministry of Health, as the annual service agreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meetbenchmarks for the payment of creditors. Where the District fails to meet service agreement performance standards, theMinistry as the state manager can take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, includingproviding financial support and increased management interaction (refer Note 1).
The District has negotiated no loan outside of arrangements with the NSW Ministry of Health or NSW Treasury.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the District will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The Districtcontinuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of highquality liquid assets. The objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use ofoverdrafts, loans and other advances.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily through the District's interest bearingliabilities. This risk is minimised by undertaking mainly fixed rate borrowings, primarily through NSW TCorp. The Districtdoes not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through othercomprehensive income. Therefore, for these financial instruments, a change in interest rates would not affect profit or lossor equity. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates (based on officialReserve Bank of Australia interest rate volatility over the last five years). The basis will be reviewed annually and amendedwhere there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility.
20192020$000 $000
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. The District's exposures to market risk are primarily through interest rate risk on the District's borrowingsand other price risks associated with the movement in the Hour Glass Investment Facilities. The District has no exposureto foreign currency risk and does not enter into commodity contracts.
The effect on net result and equity due to a reasonably possible change in risk variable is outlined in the information below,for interest rate risk and other price risk. A reasonably possible change in risk variable has been determined after takinginto account the economic environment in which the District operates and the time frame for the assessment (i.e. until theend of the next annual reporting period). The sensitivity analysis is based on risk exposures in existence at the Statementof Financial Position date. The analysis is performed on the same basis as for 2019. The analysis assumes that all othervariables remain constant.
Market risk
However, the District is not permitted to borrow external to the NSW Ministry of Health (except energy loans which arenegotiated through NSW Treasury). Both NSW Treasury and NSW Ministry of Health loans are set at fixed rates andtherefore are generally not affected by fluctuations in market rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates:

Murrumbidgee Local Health District
Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Murrumbidgee Local Health District
To Members of the New South Wales Parliament
Opinion
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Murrumbidgee Local Health District
(the District), which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended
30 June 2020, the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020, the Statement of Changes in
Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a Statement of
Significant Accounting Policies and other explanatory information of the District and the consolidated
entity. The consolidated entity comprises the District and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or
from time to time during the financial year.
In my opinion, the financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the financial position of the District and the consolidated entity as at
30 June 2020, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
• are in accordance with section 45E of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (PF&A Act) and
the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2015.
My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under the
standards are described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements’
section of my report.
I am independent of the District and the consolidated entity in accordance with the requirements of
the:
• Australian Auditing Standards
• Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards)’ (APES 110).
I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with APES 110.
Parliament promotes independence by ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of
New South Wales are not compromised in their roles by:
• providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an
Auditor-General
• mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies
• precluding the Auditor-General from providing non-audit services.
I believe the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my
audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter – Presentation of Budget Information
Without modification to the opinion expressed above, I draw attention to the basis of presenting
adjusted budget information detailed in Note 37. The note states that AASB 1055 ‘Budgetary
Reporting’ is not applicable to the District. It also states that, unlike the requirement in AASB 1055
‘Budgetary Reporting’ to present original budget information, the District’s financial statements present
adjusted budget information.
The Chief Executive’s Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The Chief Executive is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the PF&A Act, and for such internal control
as the Chief Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Chief Executive is responsible for assessing the ability of the
District and the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
My objectives are to:
• obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
• issue an Independent Auditor’s Report including my opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee an audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect material misstatements.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or
in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions users take
based on the financial statements.
A description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf. The
description forms part of my auditor’s report.
The scope of my audit does not include, nor provide assurance:
• that the District or the consolidated entity carried out their activities effectively, efficiently and
economically
• about the assumptions used in formulating the budget figures disclosed in the financial
statements
• about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial
statements on any website where they may be presented
• about any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
*
*
b)
The District's financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared on an accrual basis
and in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) (which include Australian Accounting
Interpretations), the requirements of the Health Services Act 1997 and its regulations (including observation of the Accounts
and Audit Determination for Public Health Organisations), the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the Act) and the Public
Finance and Audit Regulation 2015, and the NSW Treasurer's Directions issued under the Act. The financial statements
comply with the NSW Treasury mandates circular for NSW General Government Sector Entities.
The financial statements of the District have been prepared on a going concern basis.
In alignment with the approach of other States and Territories, and following a recommendation by the National Cabinet of
Commonwealth, the 2020-21 NSW Budget has been deferred until 17 November 2020. On this basis, the Secretary of NSW
Health, the Chair of the Northern NSW Local Health District Board and the Chief Executive, through an interim Service
Agreement, have agreed to service and funding levels for the forward financial year. The interim Service Agreement provides
for 48 per cent of the District's annual funding.
When the NSW Budget is handed down in November 2020, the interim Service Agreement and funding arrangements will be
replaced with a full-year 2020-21 Service Agreement and budget. The Service Agreement sets out the level of financial
resources for public health services under the District's control and the source of these funds. By agreement, the Service
Agreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meet benchmarks for the payment of
creditors. Where the District fails to meet Service Agreement performance standards, the NSW Ministry of Health as the state
manager will take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, including financial support and
increased management interaction by the NSW Ministry of Health.
Northern NSW Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
The Northern NSW Local Health District (the District) was established under the provisions of the Health Services Act 1997
with effect from 1 January 2011.
The District is a NSW Government entity and is controlled by the NSW Ministry of Health, which is the immediate parent. The
reporting entity is also controlled by the State of New South Wales (and is consolidated as part of the NSW Total State Sector
Accounts), which is the ultimate parent. The reporting entity is a not-for-profit entity (as profit is not its principal objective).
The District, as a reporting entity, comprises all the entities under its control, namely:
As a consequence the values in the financial statements presented herein consist of the parent entity and the consolidated
entity which comprises the parent and special purpose service entity. In the process of preparing the consolidated financial
statements consisting of the controlling and controlled entities, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated,
and like transactions and other events are accounted for using uniform accounting policies.
These consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been authorised for issue by the Chief
Executive on 18/09/2020.
The parent entity comprises all the operating activities of the Hospital Facilities and the Community Health Centres under
its control. It also encompasses the Restricted Assets (as disclosed in Note 26), which, while containing assets which are
restricted for specified uses by the grantor or the donor, are nevertheless controlled by the parent entity.
Basis of preparation
Reporting entity
The Northern NSW Local Health District Special Purpose Service Entity, which was established as a Division of the
District on 1 January 2011 in accordance with the Health Services Act 1997. This Division provides personnel services to
enable the District to exercise its functions.

Accounting for the Goods & Services Tax (GST)
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that the:
amount of GST incurred by the District as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is
recognised as part of an asset's cost of acquisition or as part of an item of expense; and
Certain comparative information has been reclassified to ensure consistency with current year presentation and classification.
All amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and are expressed in Australian currency, which is the District's
presentation and functional currency.
Allocated funds, combined with other revenues earned, are adequate to pay debts as and when they become due and
payable.
The District has the capacity to review the timing of NSW Ministry of Health allocation cash flows to ensure that debts can
be paid when they become due and payable.
The District has developed an Efficiency and Improvement Plan (EIP) which identifies revenue improvement and cost
saving strategies. Benefits from the EIP are retained by the District and assist in meeting its overall budget target. The
EIP is monitored and evaluated by the NSW Ministry of Health throughout the financial year.
Comparative Information
Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative information is disclosed in respect
of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.
Despite the impact of COVID-19, the going concern assumption remains appropriate. Reasons for this include:
Property, plant and equipment, assets held for sale and certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Other
financial statement items are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except where specified otherwise.
Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial
statements.
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards which include Australian Accounting
Interpretations.
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are
classified as operating cash flows.
The Commonwealth has entered a National Partnership Agreement, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with States
and Territories, including NSW. The Agreement will deliver funding to public hospitals and provide stability and certainty of
funding while ensuring access to new life saving therapies in public hospitals. The District is subject to additional NSW
Ministry of Health recurrent and capital allocations to provide for costs incurred related to COVID-19 activities and to
ensure debts can be paid as and when they become due and payable.
Following the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in late February 2020, the District has seen a decline in normal
hospital activities. Restrictions were imposed by the Australian Government resulting in the suspension of non-urgent elective
surgeries to ensure increased capacity across the health system. Critical resources were reassigned to plan and prepare for
possible surges as a result of the outbreak. The unprecedented measures undertaken by both the Australian and State
governments to contain the spread of COVID-19, have resulted in significant impacts to the economy and within the health
sector.

The District applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities, and
AASB 16 Leases for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of these new accounting
standards are described below.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019-20, but do not have an impact on the
financial statements of the District.
Changes in accounting policy, including new or revised Australian Accounting Standards
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15)
AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies,
with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to
account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the District expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a
customer.
AASB 15 requires the District to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances
when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for
the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard
requires relevant disclosures.
In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15, the District has adopted AASB 15 retrospectively with the
cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019. The District
has used the transitional practical expedient permitted by the standard to reflect the aggregate effect of all of the
modifications that occur before 1 July 2018 when:
The accounting policies applied in 2019-20 are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as a result of
new or revised Australian Accounting Standards that have been applied for the first time as follows:
identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations;
allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.
The impact of applying the above practical expedients is not expected to significantly affect the financial statements.

AASB 1058 replaces most of the existing requirements in AASB 1004 Contributions. The scope of AASB 1004 is now
limited mainly to contributions by owners (including parliamentary appropriations that satisfy the definition of a contribution
by owners), administrative arrangements and liabilities of government departments assumed by other entities.
AASB 1058 applies to income with a donation component, i.e. transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset is
significantly less than fair value principally to enable a not-for-profit entity to further its objectives; and volunteer services.
AASB 1058 adopts a residual approach, meaning that entities first apply other applicable Australian Accounting
Standards (e.g. AASB 1004, AASB 15, AASB 16, AASB 9, AASB 137) to a transaction before recognising income.
Not-for-profit entities need to determine whether a transaction is/contains a donation (accounted for under AASB 1058) or
a contract with a customer (accounted for under AASB 15).
In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 1058, the District has adopted AASB 1058 retrospectively with the
cumulative effect of initially applying the standard at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019. The District has
adopted the practical expedient in AASB 1058 whereby existing assets acquired for consideration significantly less than
fair value principally to enable the District to further its objectives, are not restated to their fair value.

(b) Income from grants to construct non-financial assets to be controlled by the entity were previously recognised upon

where the entity has not yet satisfied its obligations to construct the assets.
The nature of these adjustments is described below:

AASB 16 requires the District to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for
finance leases under AASB 117. As the lessee, the District recognises a lease liability and right-of-use asset at the
inception of the lease. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the future lease payments, discounted using
the interest rate implicit in the lease, or the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined. The corresponding right-of-use asset is measured at the value of the lease liability adjusted
for lease payments before inception, lease incentives, initial direct costs and estimates of costs for dismantling and
removing the asset or restoring the site on which it is located.
The reason for the changes in grants and other contributions is due to the timing of revenue received to construct non-
financial assets to be controlled by the entity.
AASB 16 Leases
The District has adopted the partial retrospective option in AASB 16, where the cumulative effect of initially applying
AASB 16 is recognised on 1 July 2019 and the comparatives for the year ended 30 June 2019 are not restated.
In relation to leases that had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under AASB 117, a lease liability is
recognised at 1 July 2019 at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate
applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 1.78%.
AASB 16 supersedes AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease,
Interpretation 115 Operating Leases – Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions
Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation
and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise most leases on the Statement of Financial Position.
Lessor accounting
Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify leases as
either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in AASB 117. Therefore, AASB 16 does not have a
significant impact for leases where the entity is the lessor.
Lessee accounting
The adoption of AASB 1058 did not have an impact on Other Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Cash Flows
for the financial year.

not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at 1 July 2019, for those contracts previously assessed under
AASB 117 and Interpretation 4;
using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease.
The corresponding right-of-use asset is initially recorded on transition at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by
the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the Statement of Financial
Position as at 30 June 2019.
The District elected to use the practical expedient to expense lease payments for lease contracts that, at their
commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases),
and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is valued at $10,000 or under when new (low-value assets).
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the District has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
For leases previously classified as finance leases the District recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease
liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of
initial application. The measurement principles of AASB 16 are only applied after that date.
applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
relying on its previous assessment on whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application
as an alternative to performing an impairment review;
not recognise a lease liability and right-of-use-asset for short-term leases that end within 12 months of the date of
initial application;
excluding the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of- use asset at the date of initial application; and

Upon review, the District has not identified any arrangements in scope of AASB 1059.
The District has completed its impact assessment of AASB 1059 by reviewing all material arrangements where the private
sector is performing any services on behalf of the District. Any identified arrangements have been assessed whether it
falls within the scope of AASB 1059. If it does meet the scoping guidelines of AASB 1059, financial impacts were
calculated.
Overview of Assessment Activities
AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements
AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements is applicable to public sector entities only and is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. This standard requires the grantor to recognise a service concession asset
in a service concession arrangement where it controls the asset. A corresponding financial liability and/or grant of right
liability is also recognised depending on the nature of the consideration exchanged. Service concession assets (including
those provided by the operator, an upgrade to or a major component replacement of an existing asset of the grantor; and
existing assets of the grantor – also applicable to previously unrecognised intangible assets except goodwill) are initially
measured at current replacement cost based on AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement principles. They are subsequently
accounted for under AASB 116 Property, Plant & Equipment or AASB 138 Intangible Assets. Service concession liabilities
are initially measured at the same amount as the service concession asset and subsequently measured using either the
'financial liability' model applying AASB 9 Financial Instruments or, the 'grant of right' model under AASB 1059 Service
Concession Arrangements. AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements requires retrospective application.
Issued but not yet effective
NSW public sector entities are not permitted to early adopt new Australian Accounting Standards, unless NSW Treasury
determines otherwise. The following new Australian Accounting Standards, excluding standards not considered applicable
or material to the District have not been applied and are not yet effective. The possible impact of these Accounting
Standards in the period of initial application includes:

Visiting medical officers (VMOs) enhance full-time medical specialist services by providing speciality input in a number of
disciplines throughout the District's hospitals. VMO expenses of $87,635 thousand (2019: $84,504 thousand) represent part of
the day-to-day running costs incurred in the normal operations of the District. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Personnel services of $1,741 thousand (2019: $1,397 thousand) have been capitalised in property, plant and equipment
assets and are excluded from the above.
Employee related costs of $1,741 thousand (2019: $1,397 thousand) have been capitalised in property, plant and equipment
assets and are therefore excluded from the above.
Personnel services of Northern NSW Local Health District were provided by its controlled entity, Northern NSW Local Health
District Special Purpose Service Entity.

Operating leases
Lease expense (up to 30 June 2019)
Operating expenses generally represent the day-to-day running costs incurred in the normal operations of the District. These
costs are expensed as incurred. The recognition and measurement policy for non-employee related expenses is detailed in
Note 27.
Lease expense (from 1 July 2019)
Up to 30 June 2019, operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.
Variable lease payments are not included in the measurement of the lease liability (i.e. variable lease payments that do not
depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date). These payments are
recognised in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.
Recognition and Measurement
Other expenses (continued)
Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred except where they relate to the replacement
or enhancement of a part or component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.
Lease expense
The District's insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund (TMF) Scheme of self insurance for
government entities. The expense / (premium) is determined by the fund manager based on past claims experience. The TMF
is managed by NSW Self Insurance Corporation (SiCorp), a controlled entity of the ultimate parent.
Insurance
Leases of assets that are valued at $10,000 or under when new.
Leases that meet the definition of short-term. i.e. where the lease term at commencement of the lease is 12 months or
less. This excludes leases with a purchase option.
From 1 July 2019, the District recognises the lease payments associated with the following types of leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis:

9. Revenue
Recognition and Measurement
10. NSW Ministry of Health allocations
Until 30 June 2019, income is recognised in accordance with AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and
AASB 1004 Contributions.
From 1 July 2019, income is recognised in accordance with the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (AASB 15) or AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (AASB 1058), dependent on whether there is a contract
with a customer defined by AASB 15.
Payments are made by the immediate parent as per the Service Agreement to the District and adjusted for approved
supplementations, mostly for salary agreements and approved enhancement projects. The Service Agreement between the
immediate parent and the District does not contain sufficiently specific enforceable performance obligations as defined by
AASB 15 and are therefore recognised upon the receipt of cash, in accordance with AASB 1058.
Interstate patient flows are funded through the NSW State Pool Account, based on activity and consistent with the price
determined in cross border agreements. The funding is also recognised as part of the NSW Ministry of Health recurrent
allocation from the immediate parent.
The District recognised additional NSW Ministry of Health recurrent allocations of $12,314 thousand and NSW Ministry of
Health capital allocations of $502 thousand to cover costs incurred with preparation, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19
patients.
Under the GSF Act 2018, the District’s own source revenue (which includes but is not limited to receipts from NSW Ministry of
Health recurrent and capital allocations, patient fees, non-patient fees, grants and other contributions, other ancillary services
and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment) meets the definition of deemed appropriation money under the
GSF Act (Section 4.7).
Deemed appropriation money is money received directly by the District which forms part of the consolidated fund and is not
appropriated to the District by an Act.

Rendering of services from contracts with customers (from 1 July 2019)
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when the District satisfies the performance obligation by transferring the
promised services. Revenue is typically recognised as follows:
Department of Veterans' Affairs
Revenue for highly specialised drugs is paid by the Commonwealth in accordance with the terms of the Commonwealth
agreement through Medicare and reflects the recoupment of costs incurred under Section 100 of the National Health Act
1953 for highly specialised drugs. The agreement provides for the provision of medicines for the treatment of chronic
conditions where specific criteria are met in respect of admitted day patients, non admitted patients or patients on
discharge. Revenue is recognised when the drugs have been provided to the patient.
Motor Accident Authority third party
A bulk billing agreement exists in which motor vehicle insurers' effect payment directly to NSW Health for the hospital
costs for those persons hospitalised or attending for inpatient treatment as a result of motor vehicle accidents. The District
recognises the revenue on an accrual basis from the time the patient is treated or admitted into hospital.
Highly specialised drugs
Rendering of services (until 30 June 2019)
Revenue is recognised when the service is provided or by reference to the type and stage of services provided to date.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the District satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the promised
goods. Sale of goods comprises of pharmacy sales, sale of prosthesis and other items. The District typically satisfies its
performance obligations when the control of goods is transferred to the customer. The payments are typically due when
invoiced.
Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, and revenue is only recognised to the
extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales
are made with a short credit term. No volume discount or warranty is provided on the sale.
Patient fees are derived from chargeable inpatients and non-inpatients on the basis of rates specified by the NSW Ministry
of Health. Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided to the patient.
Patient fees
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under various contracts. No element of financing is deemed present as
payments are due when the service is provided.
Refer to Note 28 for the disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that
are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period, and when the District expects to recognise the
unsatisfied portion as revenue.
An agreement is in place with the Commonwealth Department of Veterans' Affairs through which direct funding is provided
for the provision of health services to entitled veterans. For inpatient services, revenue is recognised by the District on an
accrual basis by reference to patient admissions. Non admitted patients are recognised by the NSW Ministry of Health in
the form of a block grant.
Use of hospital facilities
Specialist doctors with rights of private practice are subject to an infrastructure charge, including service charges where
applicable for the use of hospital facilities at rates determined by the NSW Ministry of Health.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for
financial assets that subsequently become credit impaired. For financial assets that become credit impaired the effective
interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the financial asset (i.e. after deducting the loss allowance for expected credit
losses).

Revenue from grants with sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the District satisfies a performance
obligation by transferring the promised goods or services. The District typically receives grants in respect of research, clinical
drug trials and other community, health and wellbeing related projects. The District uses various methods to recognise
revenue over time, depending on the nature and terms and conditions of the grant contract. The payments are typically based
on agreed timetable or on achievement of different milestones set up in the contract.
Income from grants to acquire / construct a recognisable non-financial asset to be controlled by the District is recognised when
the District satisfies its obligations under the transfer. The District satisfies the performance obligation under the transfer over
time as the non-financial assets are being constructed. The percentage of cost incurred is used to recognise income, because
this most closely reflects the progress to completion.
Contributions are recognised at their fair value. Contributions of services are recognised when and only when a fair value of
those services can be reliably determined and the services would be purchased if not donated.
Revenue from these grants is recognised based on the grant amount specified in the funding agreement/funding approval,
and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of
financing is deemed present as funding payments are usually received in advance or shortly after the relevant obligation is
satisfied.
Receipt of these services, while important, is not recognised because typically such services would not have been purchased
if not donated.
Receipt of volunteer services is recognised when and only when the fair value of those services can be reliably determined
and the services would have been purchased if not donated. Volunteer services recognised are measured at fair value. The
District receives volunteer services for the below activities:
Volunteer services
Income from grants without sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the District obtains control over
the granted assets (e.g. cash).
Refer to Note 28 for the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that have not been satisfied at the end of
the year and when it is expected to be recognised as revenue.
- Counselling, Transport, Home Help and Patient Activities
- Practical Support to Patients and Relatives
- Patient Services, Fund Raising
- Patient and Family Support
Income from grants (other than contributions by owners) is recognised when the entity obtains control over the contribution.
The District is deemed to have assumed control when the grant is received or receivable.

The current and non-current trade receivables from contracts with customers balances above include the following
patient fee receivables:
Details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including financial assets that are either past due or impaired are
disclosed in Note 38.
All ‘regular way’ purchases or sales of receivables are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of receivables that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace.
For trade receivables, the District applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. The District recognises a loss allowance
based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The District has established a provision matrix based on its historical credit
loss experience for trade receivables, adjusted for forward looking factors specific to the receivable.
The District recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt financial assets not held at fair value
through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the District
expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The District holds receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Changes are recognised in the net result for the year
when impaired, derecognised or through the amortisation process.
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not
contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price.

Contract assets relate to the District's right to consideration in exchange for goods and services transferred to customers /
works completed, but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights
become unconditional. This usually occurs when the District issues an invoice to the customer. The balance of the contract
assets relates to grants and other contributions for work completed but not yet invoiced as future work is required to be
completed before the District has the rights to invoice. Once all performance obligations are met and the District has rights to
invoice for the payment to be made, the contract asset is transferred to receivables.
The contract asset balance has significantly increased during the year due to the timing of the rights to invoice and the
obligations met.

Recognition and Measurement
The cost of inventories acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration is the current replacement cost as at the date of
acquisition. Current replacement cost is the cost the District would incur to acquire the asset. Net realisable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.
Inventories held for distribution are stated at cost, adjusted when applicable, for any loss of service potential. A loss of service
potential is identified and measured based on the existence of a current replacement cost that is lower than the carrying
amount. Inventories (other than those held for distribution) are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is
calculated using the weighted average cost method.
Obsolete items are disposed of in accordance with instructions issued by the NSW Ministry of Health.
The increase in medical and surgical supplies is a result of the District preparing for an increase in COVID-19 patients.
Inventories held for distribution for COVID-19 are also consumed in the normal services provided by the District.
Market demand has increased the weighted average cost of inventories in medical and surgical supplies due to the outbreak
of COVID-19. Market demand for these items is expected to continue and as a result the carrying amount and current
replacement cost are aligned. At the 30 June 2020, the District has determined that it plans to use the remaining medical and
surgical supplies inventory in a relatively short time period, well before expiry, and there is no available alternative that is more
efficient or effective nor a likelihood of an alternative being on the market in the foreseeable future.

PARENT AND CONSOLIDATION
The District has no property, plant and equipment where it is the lessor under operating leases. All property, plant and

Further details regarding the fair value measurement of property, plant and equipment are disclosed in Note 25.
Total property, plant and equipment - reconciliation (continued)
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Property, plant and equipment held and used by the District
Land and buildings are owned by the Health Administration Corporation. Land and buildings which are operated/occupied by
the District are deemed to be controlled by the District and are reflected as such in the financial statements.
Where payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred
payment amount is effectively discounted over the period of credit.
Property, plant and equipment acquired are initially recognised at cost and subsequently revalued at fair value less
accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other
consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount
attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting
Standards.
Acquisition of property, plant and equipment
Health Administration Corporation, a controlled entity of the immediate parent, manages the approved major capital works
program for the NSW Ministry of Health and its controlled entities. Health Administration Corporation receives NSW Ministry of
Health Capital Allocations and grants on behalf of the District and makes payments to contractors and suppliers. Health
Administration Corporation initially records all costs incurred as work in progress or expenses and subsequently transfers to
the District. The costs are then accordingly reflected in the District financial statements. The District acquires most assets in
this manner.
Recognition and Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at
measurement date.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and
adjusted if appropriate.
'Infrastructure Systems' comprises public facilities which provide essential services and enhance the productive capacity of the
economy including roads, bridges, water infrastructure and distribution works, sewerage treatment plants, seawalls and water
reticulation systems.
'Plant and equipment' comprises, among others, medical, computer and office equipment, motor vehicles, furniture and fittings
and PODS (a detachable or self-contained unit on ambulances used for patient treatment).
Details of depreciation rates initially applied for major asset categories are as follows:
Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets so as to write off the depreciable amount of each
asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the District. Land is not a depreciable asset. All material identifiable components
of assets are depreciated over their useful lives.
The present value of the expected cost for the restoration or cost of dismantling of an asset after its use is included in the cost
of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Restoration costs
Property, plant and equipment assets costing $10,000 and above individually (or forming part of a network costing more than
$10,000) are capitalised.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the asset’s useful life. However, if there is
no reasonable certainty that the lessee entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over
the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2019 includes non-current assets acquired under finance leases only. The assets
are recognised at fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, at the inception of the lease.
Property, plant and equipment does not include amounts in respect of operating leases.
Until 30 June 2019, AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117) distinguished between finance leases that effectively transfer from the
lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets, and operating leases
under which the lessor does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards.
Further information on leases is contained in Note 23.
Therefore, at that date property, plant and equipment recognised under leases previously treated as finance leases under
AASB 117 are derecognised. The right-of-use assets arising from these leases are recognised and included in the separate
line item together with those arising from leases previously treated as operating leases under AASB 117.
From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset for most leases. The
District has elected to present right-of-use assets separately in the Statement of Financial Position.
38
Northern NSW Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount of each asset in the class does not differ
materially from its fair value at reporting date. The District conducts a comprehensive revaluation at least every three years for
its land and buildings and infrastructure. Interim desktop revaluations are conducted between comprehensive revaluations for
those assets, where cumulative changes to indicators suggest fair value may differ materially from carrying value. The District
uses an independent professionally qualified valuer for such revaluations.
Revaluation increments are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to revaluation surplus in equity. However,
to the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of the same class of asset previously recognised
as a loss in the net result, the increment is recognised immediately as a gain in the net result.
For other assets valued using other valuation techniques, any balances of accumulated depreciation existing at the
revaluation date in respect of those assets are credited to the asset accounts to which they relate. The net asset accounts are
then increased or decreased by the revaluation increments or decrements.
When revaluing non-current assets using the cost approach, the gross amount and the related accumulated depreciation are
separately restated. Where the income approach or market approach is used, accumulated depreciation is eliminated against
the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost, as an approximation of fair value.
The District has assessed that any difference between fair value and depreciated historical cost is unlikely to be material.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the District management performed an additional assessment to determine if
the fair value of its property plant and equipment as at 30 June 2020 materially differed from the carrying value. Management
concluded that there is no definitive or conclusive market evidence to support any material adjustments. No adjustments were
applied as a result.
Fair value of property, plant and equipment is based on a market participants’ perspective, using valuation techniques (market
approach, cost approach, income approach) that maximise relevant observable inputs and minimise unobservable inputs. Also
refer to Note 25 for further information regarding fair value.
The last comprehensive revaluation was completed on 31 December 2019 and was based on an independent assessment.
Subsequent to the adoption of AASB 16, the District, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use asset at cost and a corresponding
lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment properties
are included in Property, Plant and Equipment under the corresponding asset categories. Further information on right-of-use
assets is contained in Note 23.
Property, plant and equipment is measured at the highest and best use by market participant's that is physically possible,
legally permissible and financially feasible. The highest and best use must be available at a period that is not remote and
takes into account the characteristics of the asset being measured, including any socio-political restrictions imposed by
government. In most cases, after taking into account these considerations, the highest and best use is the existing use. In
limited circumstances, the highest and best use may be a feasible alternative use, where there are no restrictions on use or
where there is a feasible higher restricted alternative use.
Physical non-current assets are valued in accordance with the 'Valuation of Physical Non-Current Assets at Fair Value' Policy
and Guidelines Paper (TPP 14-01). This policy adopts fair value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, AASB
116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 140 Investment Property.
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
Interim revaluations are conducted between comprehensive revaluations where cumulative changes to indicators suggest fair
value may differ materially from carrying value.
As a not-for-profit entity, revaluation increments and decrements are offset against one another within a class of non-current
assets, but not otherwise.
Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately as a loss in the net result, except to the extent that it offsets an existing
revaluation surplus on the same class of assets, in which case, the decrement is debited directly to the revaluation surplus.

for the year ended 30 June 2020
Derecognition of property, plant and equipment
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted if appropriate.
Where an asset that has previously been revalued is disposed of, any balance remaining in the revaluation surplus in respect
of that asset is transferred to accumulated funds.
After an impairment loss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in net result and is treated as a
revaluation increase. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same class of asset was previously recognised in
net result, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in net result.
As a not-for-profit entity, an impairment loss is recognised in the net result to the extent the impairment loss exceeds the
amount in the revaluation surplus for the class of asset.
Specialised assets held for continuing use of their service capacity are rarely sold and their cost of disposal is typically
negligible. Their recoverable amount is expected to be materially the same as fair value, where they are regularly revalued
under AASB 13.
The District assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the District estimates the asset’s recoverable amount.
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount.
As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, impairment under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets is unlikely to arise.
As property, plant and equipment is carried at fair value or an amount that approximates fair value, impairment can only arise
in the rare circumstances such as where the costs of disposal are material.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from
its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the
asset and are included in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Potential future cash outflows of $300 thousand have not been included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably
certain that the leases will be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant
change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.
During the current financial year, the financial effect of revising lease terms to reflect the effect of exercising extensions and
termination options was an increase in recognised lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $Nil.

From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease
liability for most leases.
The District leases various property, equipment and motor vehicles. Lease contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1
to 5 years, but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of
different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants but leased assets may not be used as
security for borrowing purposes. The District does not provide residual value guarantees in relation to leases.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases. These terms are used to
maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held are
exercisable only by the District and not by the respective lessor. In determining the lease term, management considers all
facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination
option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably
certain to be extended (or not terminated).
The District has elected to recognise payments for short-term leases and low value leases as expenses on a straight line
basis, instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12
months or less. Low value assets are assets with a fair value of $10,000 or less when new and comprise mainly of small office
and medical equipment items.
The following table presents right-of-use assets. There are no right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment
property.

Recognition and Measurement (under AASB 16 from 1 July 2019)
The District recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the
underlying assets, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The District assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. The District assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is
required, the District estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. After an impairment
loss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s
recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable
amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the net result.
The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost. They are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the District at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a
purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined,
which is generally the case for real estate leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used. The District does not borrow
funds in the market. Instead they receive an allocation of the appropriations from the Crown Entity and where the Crown
Entity needs additional funding, Treasury Corporation (TCorp) goes to the market to obtain these funds. As a result, the
District is using TCorp rates as their incremental borrowing rates. These rates are published by NSW Treasury on a
regular basis.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred
to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the District recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include:
● fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
● variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
● amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees;
● exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the District; and
● payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the District exercising the option to
terminate.
Right-of-use assets
The District recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is
available for use). Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of initial measurement of the lease liability
(refer (ii) below), adjusted by any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, lease incentives, any initial
direct costs incurred, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset or restoring the site.

(a) Entity as a lessee (continued)
iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
iv. Leases that have significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entity to further its objectives
The District applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of buildings, machinery, motor
vehicles and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and
do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office
equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are
recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments were recognised as an operating expense
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases was depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if
there is no reasonable certainty that the District will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset was depreciated
over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Where a non-current asset was acquired by means of a finance lease, at the commencement of the lease, the asset was
recognised at its fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability was
established at the same amount. Lease payments were apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease
liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges were recognised
in finance costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Recognition and measurement (under AASB 117 until 30 June 2019)
The initial and subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets under leases at significantly below-market terms and
conditions that are entered into principally to enable the District to further its objectives is the same as normal right-of-use
assets. They are measured at cost, subject to impairment.
The District’s lease liabilities are included in borrowings in Note 29.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a
change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in an
index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the
underlying asset.
Until 30 June 2019, a lease was classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the District was classified as a finance lease.
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a
specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset (or assets), even if that asset (or those assets)
is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Recognition and Measurement
These assets are not depreciated while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the
liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are continued to be recognised.
The District has certain non-current assets classified as held for sale, where their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction, not through continuing use. Non-current assets held for sale are recognised at the lower of carrying
amount and fair value less costs of disposal.
The non-current assets held for sale constitute assets that are surplus to requirements and are actively marketed within a sale
program which has been initiated and is expected to locate a buyer and complete the sale in the next twelve months.
For 2018/19 this asset relates to the Byron Bay Hospital which is no longer required with the opening of the new Byron Central
Hospital. The asset was recorded at $1. Due to rounding in the Financial Statements this note shows a $Nil balance. The
sale of this asset was finalised on 1 July 2019.
Further details regarding fair value measurement are disclosed in Note 25.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to
sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a
principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
A number of the District’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring fair value, the valuation technique used maximises the use of relevant
observable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs. Under AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, the District
categorises, for disclosure purposes, the valuation techniques based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets / liabilities that the entity can access at the
measurement date.
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

(b)
The property market is being impacted by the significant uncertainty that the COVID-19 outbreak has caused. Sales
evidence have been utilised across the District to assess the land and non-specialised properties, in line with the valuation
by the valuers made on a market approach.
At the end of each reporting period a fair value assessment is made on any movements since the last revaluation, and a
determination as to whether any adjustments need to be made. These adjustments are made by way of application of
indices (refer Note 22 reconciliation).
The non-current assets categorised in (a) above have been measured as either level 2 or level 3 based on the following
valuation techniques and inputs:
For land, the valuation by the valuer is made on a market approach, comparing similar assets (not identical) and
observable inputs. The most significant input is price per square metre.
All commercial and non-restricted land is included in level 2 as these land valuations have a high level of observable
inputs although these lands are not identical.
All of the restricted land has been classified as level 3 as, although observable inputs have been used, a significant level
of professional judgement is required to adjust inputs in determining the land valuations. Certain parcels of land have
zoning restrictions, for example hospital grounds, and values are adjusted accordingly.
For buildings and infrastructure, many assets are of a specialised nature or use, and thus the most appropriate valuation
method is depreciated replacement cost. These assets are included as level 3 as these assets have a high level of
unobservable inputs. However, residential properties are valued on a market approach and included in level 2.
Non-current assets held for sale is a non-recurring item that is measured at the lower of its fair value less cost to sell or its
carrying amount. These assets are categorised as level 2.
For land, buildings and infrastructure systems the District obtains external valuations by independent valuers at least every
three years. The last revaluation was performed by CBRE Valuations Pty Ltd for the 2019-20 financial year. CBRE
Valuations Pty Ltd is an independent entity and is not an associated entity of the District.

Payables are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the
District. Gains and losses are recognised in the net result when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the
amortisation process.
Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Short-term payables with no stated interest
rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including a maturity analysis of the above payables are disclosed in
Note 38.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the District and other amounts. Payables are
recognised initially at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Contract liabilities relate to consideration received in advance from customers. The balance of the contract liabilities at the 30
June 2020 was impacted by the timing of payments received for grants and other contributions. The satisfaction of the specific
performance obligations within the contract hadn't been met at the 30 June 2020. Revenue from the contract liabilities will be
recognised when the specific performance obligations have been met.
The contract liability balance has significantly increased during the year because of the timing of payments received.
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations relates to the following revenue classes and is
expected to be recognised as follows:

Details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including a maturity analysis of the above borrowings are disclosed in
Note 38.
Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities
Borrowings classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable
transaction costs. These are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses
are recognised in the net result when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.
Finance lease liabilities are determined in accordance with AASB 117 Leases until 30 June 2019. From 1 July 2019, lease
liabilities are determined in accordance with AASB 16.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the District has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the reporting date. Refer to Note 38 (b) for derecognition policy.

Recognition and Measurement
Employee benefits and other provisions
Salaries and wages, annual leave, sick leave, allocated days off (ADO) and on-costs
Salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits) and paid sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12
months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured at the
undiscounted amounts of the benefits.
Annual leave and ADO are not expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in
which the employees render the related service. As such, they are required to be measured at present value in accordance
with AASB 119 Employee Benefits (although short-cut methods are permitted).
Actuarial advice obtained by NSW Treasury, a controlled entity of the ultimate parent, has confirmed that using the nominal
annual leave balance plus the annual leave entitlements accrued while taking annual leave can be used to approximate the
present value of the annual leave liability. On-costs of 18.7% are applied to the value of leave payable at 30 June 2020
(comparable on-costs for 30 June 2019 were 18.3%). The District has assessed the actuarial advice based on the District’s
circumstances to both the annual leave and ADO and has determined that the effect of discounting is immaterial. All annual
leave and ADO are classified as a current liability even where the District does not expect to settle the liability within 12
months as the District does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement.
Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the
future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.
Aggregate employee benefits and related on-costs
54
Northern NSW Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
Any provisions for restructuring are recognised only when the District has a detailed formal plan, and the District has raised a
valid expectation in those affected by the restructuring that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or
announcing its main features to those affected.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time (i.e. unwinding of discount rate) is recognised as a finance cost.
Long service leave and superannuation
The District's liability for long service leave and defined benefit superannuation (State Authorities Superannuation Scheme and
State Superannuation Scheme) are assumed by the Crown Entity, which is a controlled entity of the ultimate parent. The
District accounts for the liability as having been extinguished, resulting in the amount assumed being shown as part of the non-
monetary revenue item described as 'Acceptance by the Crown Entity of employee benefits'.
Other provisions are recognised when: the District has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it
is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. When the District expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an
insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually
certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented net of any reimbursement in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
The superannuation expense for the financial year is determined by using the formulae specified in the Treasurer’s Directions.
The expense for certain superannuation schemes (i.e. Basic Benefit and First State Super) is calculated as a percentage of
the employee's salary. For other superannuation schemes (i.e. State Superannuation Scheme and State Authorities
Superannuation Scheme), the expense is calculated as a multiple of the employee's superannuation contributions.
Consequential costs to employment are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they
relate have been recognised. This includes outstanding amounts of workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe
benefits tax.
Consequential on-costs
Specific on-costs relating to long service leave assumed by the Crown Entity are borne by the District.
Long service leave is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided
up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to certain factors based on actuarial review, including expected future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using
the long-term Commonwealth Government bond rate at the reporting date.

Cash flows
NSW Health's budget is shown at a consolidated level when presented in parliament each year (i.e. in the NSW Government
Budget Papers). The District's budget is not presented in parliament, therefore AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting is not
applicable. Unlike the requirement in AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting to present original budget information, the District's
financial statements present adjusted budget information. The adjusted budgeted amounts are drawn from the initial Service
Agreements between the District and the NSW Ministry of Health at the beginning of the financial year, as well as any
adjustments for the effects of additional supplementation provided in accordance with delegations to derive a final budget at
year end (i.e. adjusted budget). The budget amounts are not subject to audit and, accordingly, the relevant budget entries in
the financial statements are unaudited.
Current Assets were $2.8 million lower than budget. This was due mainly to lower than budget Receivables $5.8 million,
higher than budget Cash at Bank $1.7 million and Contract assets $0.8M. The lower than budget Receivables reflects lower
than budgeted Intra Health Receivables $3.2 million, Prepayments $0.8M and lower Sale of Goods & Services $1.2 million.
The higher than budgeted Cash at Bank is associated with reduced cash General buffer requirements $1.4 million.
Operating Activities - Net cash inflows were higher than budget by $5.6 million. Operating Payments were lower than budget
by $4.2 million and Operating Receipts were higher than budget by $1.4 million.
The lower than budget Revenues of $3.3 million was represented by Sale of Goods and Services from contracts with
customers $2.6 million and lower NSW Ministry of Health capital allocations $2.2 million.
The lower than budgeted Sale of Goods and Services from contracts with customers is primarily associated with lower
Patients Fees $1.5 million, Department of Veterans' Affairs revenues $0.3 million and Motor Accident Authority third party
revenues of $0.3 million.
The lower NSW Ministry of Health capital allocations of $2.2 million is due to delays in capital projects associated with the
impacts of COVID-19.
Non Current Assets were $21.7 million higher than budget. This result reflects the revaluation Increment of $22.3 million.
Investing Activities - Net cash outflows were higher than budget by $3.4 million. This related to Purchases of Property, Plant
and Equipment due to decreases in Capital Creditors of $4.2 million
The actual Net Result was lower than adjusted budget by $3.3 million, primarily due to lower than budgeted Revenues of $3.3
million.

Recognition and Measurement
Equity transfers
The transfer of net assets between entities as a result of an administrative restructure, transfers of programs/functions and
parts thereof between entities controlled by the ultimate parent are recognised as an adjustment to 'Accumulated Funds'. This
treatment is consistent with AASB 1004 Contributions and Australian Accounting Interpretation 1038 Contributions by Owners
Made to Wholly-Owned Public Sector Entities.
Transfers arising from an administrative restructure involving not-for-profit entities and for-profit government entities are
recognised at the amount at which the asset was recognised by the transferor immediately prior to the restructure. Subject to
below, in most instances this will approximate fair value.
All other equity transfers are recognised at fair value, except for intangibles. Where an intangible has been recognised at
amortised cost by the transferor because there is no active market, the District recognises the asset at the transferor's carrying
amount. Where the transferor is prohibited from recognising internally generated intangibles, the District does not recognise
that asset.
Annual Leave Provision

Annual Leave Provision - Transfer of Annual Leave Provisions between NSW Health
entities
Nil
An equity transfer was made between NSW Health entities to realign the annual leave liability to the current legal employer
as held in the payroll system (StaffLink) for various employment arrangements, including staff on rotation and secondment.
This has resulted in an increase in net assets of $916 thousand relating to the transfer of Annual Leave provision balances
to other NSW Health entities.
The category 'accumulated funds' includes all current and prior period retained funds.
Accumulated Funds
Separate reserve accounts are recognised in the financial statements only if such accounts are required by specific legislation
or Australian Accounting Standards.

The revaluation surplus is used to record increments and decrements on the revaluation of non-current assets. This accords
with the District's policy on the revaluation of property, plant and equipment as discussed in Note 22.

(b) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Chief Executive and Board of the District have the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk
management and reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks. Risk management policies are established to
identify and analyse the risks faced by the District, to set risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Compliance with policies is
reviewed on a continuous basis.
The District's principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the District's
operations or are required to finance its operations. The District does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including
derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The District's main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the District's objectives, policies and
processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout these
financial statements.

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or if the entity transfers its
rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without
material delay to a third party under a pass through arrangement and either:
● The District has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
● The District has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards for the asset, but has transferred
control.
The District determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities after initial recognition and, when allowed and
appropriate, re-evaluates this at each financial year end.

i.
Collectability of trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Procedures as
established in the Treasurer’s Directions are followed to recover outstanding amounts, including letters of demand.
The District applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected
loss allowance for all trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets.
Credit risk arises when there is the possibility that the counterparty will default on their contractual obligations, resulting in a
financial loss to the District. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the
financial assets (net of any allowance for credit losses).
Credit risk arises from financial assets of the District, including cash, receivables and authority deposits. No collateral is
held by the District. The District has not granted any financial guarantees.
Credit risk associated with the District's financial assets, other than receivables, is managed through the selection of
counterparties and establishment of minimum credit rating standards. Authority deposits held with NSW TCorp are
guaranteed by the State.
The District considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain
cases, the District may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that
the District is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit
enhancements held by the District.
Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances deposited within the NSW Treasury banking system. Interest is earned
on daily bank balances at rates of approximately 0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 1.10%) in 2019-20 compared to
0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 2.20%) in the previous year. The TCorpIM Funds cash facility is discussed in
market risk below.
Cash and cash equivalents
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets have been grouped based
on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
Accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables and other financial assets
Receivables - trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets
Credit risk
When the District has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass through
arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. Where the District has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or transferred control, the asset continues to be
recognised to the extent of the District's continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the District also recognises an
associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the entity has retained.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. When
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the net
result.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Statement of Financial Position if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Notes
Accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables and other financial assets (continued)
Receivables - trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets (continued)
Credit risk (continued)
The expected loss rates are based on historical observed loss rates. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current
and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
The District has identified relevant factors, and accordingly has adjusted the historical loss rates based on expected
changes in these factors.
Trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of
recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others a failure to make
contractual payments for a period of greater than 90 days past due.
The loss allowance for trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 was
determined as follows:
The District is not materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors as at 30
June 2020.
¹ The analysis excludes statutory receivables and prepayments as these are not within the scope of AASB7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
Therefore the 'total' will not reconcile to the receivables total in Note 19 and the contract assets total in Note 20.
2Prior year balances have been restated to include other receivables and contract assets

During the current and prior year, there were no defaults of loans payable. No assets have been pledged as collateral.
For other suppliers, where settlement cannot be affected in accordance with the above, e.g. due to short term liquidity
constraints, contact is made with creditors and terms of payment are negotiated to the satisfaction of both parties.
For small business suppliers, where payment is not made within the specified time period, simple interest must be paid
automatically unless an existing contract specifies otherwise.
Liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced.
Until the 30 June 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set by
the NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury Circular 11/12. For small business suppliers, where terms
are not specified, payment is made not later than 5 days from the date of receipt of a correctly rendered invoice. For other
suppliers, if trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of a correctly
rendered invoice or a statement is received. From 1 July 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are
settled in accordance with the policy set by the NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury. For all suppliers,
that has a correctly rendered invoice, that has a matched purchase order and where goods have been received, an
immediate payment is made irrespective of current contract payment terms.
The District has exposure to liquidity risk. However, the risk is minimised by the service agreement with the NSW Ministry of
Health, as the annual service agreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meet
benchmarks for the payment of creditors. Where the District fails to meet service agreement performance standards, the
Ministry as the state manager can take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, including
providing financial support and increased management interaction (refer Note 1).
The District has negotiated no loan outside of arrangements with the NSW Ministry of Health or NSW Treasury.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the District will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The District
continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high
quality liquid assets. The objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of
overdrafts, loans and other advances.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily through the District's interest bearing
liabilities. This risk is minimised by undertaking mainly fixed rate borrowings, primarily through NSW TCorp. The District
does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other
comprehensive income. Therefore, for these financial instruments, a change in interest rates would not affect profit or loss
or equity. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates (based on official
Reserve Bank of Australia interest rate volatility over the last five years). The basis will be reviewed annually and amended
where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility.
20192020
$000 $000
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. The District's exposures to market risk are primarily through interest rate risk on the District's borrowings
and other price risks associated with the movement in the Hour Glass Investment Facilities. The District has no exposure
to foreign currency risk and does not enter into commodity contracts.
The effect on net result and equity due to a reasonably possible change in risk variable is outlined in the information below,
for interest rate risk and other price risk. A reasonably possible change in risk variable has been determined after taking
into account the economic environment in which the District operates and the time frame for the assessment (i.e. until the
end of the next annual reporting period). The sensitivity analysis is based on risk exposures in existence at the Statement
of Financial Position date. The analysis is performed on the same basis as for 2019. The analysis assumes that all other
variables remain constant.
Market risk
However, the District is not permitted to borrow external to the NSW Ministry of Health (except energy loans which are
negotiated through NSW Treasury). Both NSW Treasury and NSW Ministry of Health loans are set at fixed rates and
therefore are generally not affected by fluctuations in market rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates:

Southern NSW Local Health District
Financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Western NSW Local Health District
To Members of the New South Wales Parliament
Opinion
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Western NSW Local Health District
(the District), which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended
30 June 2020, the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020, the Statement of Changes in
Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a Statement of
Significant Accounting Policies and other explanatory information of the District and the consolidated
entity. The consolidated entity comprises the District and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or
from time to time during the financial year.
In my opinion, the financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the financial position of the District and the consolidated entity as at
30 June 2020, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
• are in accordance with section 45E of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (PF&A Act) and
the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2015.
My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under the
standards are described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements’
section of my report.
I am independent of the District and the consolidated entity in accordance with the requirements of
the:
• Australian Auditing Standards
• Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards)’ (APES 110).
I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with APES 110.
Parliament promotes independence by ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of
New South Wales are not compromised in their roles by:
• providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an
Auditor-General
• mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies
• precluding the Auditor-General from providing non-audit services.
I believe the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my
audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter – Presentation of Budget Information
Without modification to the opinion expressed above, I draw attention to the basis of presenting
adjusted budget information detailed in Note 39. The note states that AASB 1055 ‘Budgetary
Reporting’ is not applicable to the District. It also states that, unlike the requirement in AASB 1055
‘Budgetary Reporting’ to present original budget information, the District’s financial statements present
adjusted budget information.
The Chief Executive’s Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The Chief Executive is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the PF&A Act, and for such internal control
as the Chief Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Chief Executive is responsible for assessing the ability of
the District and the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
My objectives are to:
• obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
• issue an Independent Auditor’s Report including my opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee an audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect material misstatements.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or
in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions users take
based on the financial statements.
A description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf. The
description forms part of my auditor’s report.
The scope of my audit does not include, nor provide assurance:
• that the District or the consolidated entity carried out their activities effectively, efficiently and
economically
• about the assumptions used in formulating the budget figures disclosed in the financial
statements
• about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial
statements on any website where they may be presented
• about any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.

The financial statements of the District have been prepared on a going concern basis.
In alignment with the approach of other States and Territories, and following a recommendation by the National Cabinet of
Commonwealth, the 2020-21 NSW Budget has been deferred until 17 November 2020. On this basis, the Secretary of NSW
Health, the Chair of Western NSW Local Health District Board and the Chief Executive, through an interim Service Agreement,
have agreed to service and funding levels for the forward financial year. The interim Service Agreement provides for 48 per cent
of the LHD’s annual funding.
When the NSW Budget is handed down in November 2020-21, the interim Service Agreement and funding arrangements will
be replaced with a full-year 2020-21 Service Agreement and budget. The Service Agreement sets out the level of financial
resources for public health services under the District's control and the source of these funds. By agreement, the Service
Agreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meet benchmarks for the payment of
creditors. Where the District fails to meet Service Agreement performance standards, the NSW Ministry of Health as the state
manager will take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, including financial support and
increased management interaction by the NSW Ministry of Health.
Western NSW Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
The Western NSW Local Health District (the District) was established under the provisions of the Health Services Act 1997 with
effect from 1 January 2011.
The District is a NSW Government entity and is controlled by the NSW Ministry of Health, which is the immediate parent. The
reporting entity is also controlled by the State of New South Wales (and is consolidated as part of the NSW Total State Sector
Accounts), which is the ultimate parent. The reporting entity is a not-for-profit entity (as profit is not its principal objective).
The District, as a reporting entity, comprises all the entities under its control, namely:
Basis of preparation
Reporting entity
The Western NSW Local Health District Special Purpose Service Entity, which was established as a Division of the District
on 1 January 2011 in accordance with the Health Services Act 1997. This Division provides personnel services to enable
the District to exercise its functions.
As a consequence the values in the financial statements presented herein consist of the parent entity and the consolidated
entity which comprises the parent and special purpose service entity. In the process of preparing the consolidated financial
statements consisting of the controlling and controlled entities, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated,
and like transactions and other events are accounted for using uniform accounting policies.
These consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been authorised for issue by the Acting Chief
Executive on 23 September 2020.
The parent entity comprises all the operating activities of the Hospital Facilities and the Community Health Centres under
its control. It also encompasses the Restricted Assets (as disclosed in Note 28), which, while containing assets which are
restricted for specified uses by the grantor or the donor, are nevertheless controlled by the parent entity.
The District's financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared on an accrual basis and
in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), the
requirements of the Health Services Act 1997 and its regulations (including observation of the Accounts and Audit
Determination for Public Health Organisations), the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the Act) and the Public Finance and
Audit Regulation 2015, and the NSW Treasurer's Directions issued under the Act. The financial statements comply with the
NSW Treasury mandates circular for NSW General Government Sector Entities.

Accounting for the Goods & Services Tax (GST)
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that the:
amount of GST incurred by the District as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is
recognised as part of an asset's cost of acquisition or as part of an item of expense; and
Certain comparative information has been reclassified to ensure consistency with current year presentation and classification.
Allocated funds, combined with other revenues earned, are adequate to pay debts as and when they become due and
payable.
The District has the capacity to review the timing of NSW Ministry of Health allocation cash flows to ensure that debts can
be paid when they become due and payable.
The District has developed an Efficiency and Improvement Plan (EIP) which identifies revenue improvement and cost
saving strategies. Benefits from the EIP are retained by the District and assist in meeting its overall budget target. The EIP
is monitored and evaluated by the NSW Ministry of Health throughout the financial year.
Comparative Information
Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative information is disclosed in respect
of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.
Despite the impact of COVID-19, the going concern assumption remains appropriate. Reasons for this include:
Property, plant and equipment, assets held for sale and certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Other
financial statement items are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except where specified otherwise.
Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial
statements.
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards which include Australian Accounting
Interpretations.
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising
from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as
operating cash flows.
The Commonwealth has entered a National Partnership Agreement, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with States
and Territories, including NSW. The Agreement will deliver funding to public hospitals and provide stability and certainty of
funding while ensuring access to new life saving therapies in public hospitals. The District is subject to additional NSW
Ministry of Health recurrent and capital allocations to provide for costs incurred related to COVID-19 activities and to
ensure debts can be paid as and when they become due and payable.
Following the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in late February 2020, the District has seen a decline in normal hospital
activities. Restrictions were imposed by the Australian Government resulting in the suspension of non-urgent elective surgeries
to ensure increased capacity across the health system. Critical resources were reassigned to plan and prepare for possible
surges as a result of the outbreak. The unprecedented measures undertaken by both the Australian and State governments to
contain the spread of COVID-19, have resulted in significant impacts to the economy and within the health sector.
All amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and are expressed in Australian currency, which is the District's
presentation and functional currency.

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019-20, but do not have an impact on the
financial statements of the District.
Changes in accounting policy, including new or revised Australian Accounting Standards
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15)
AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies,
with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to
account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the District expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a
customer.
AASB 15 requires the District to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances
when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the
incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard
requires relevant disclosures.

In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15, the District has adopted AASB 15 retrospectively with the
cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019. The District
has used the transitional practical expedient permitted by the standard to reflect the aggregate effect of all of the
modifications that occur before 1 July 2018 when:
The accounting policies applied in 2019-20 are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as a result of

immediately, for all other income within the scope of AASB 1058.
The reason for the changes in grants and other contributions is due to the non-recurring nature of grants and contributions
received and varying nature of performance obligations across grant contracts resulting in different timing of revenue
received.
AASB 1058 replaces most of the existing requirements in AASB 1004 Contributions. The scope of AASB 1004 is now
limited mainly to contributions by owners (including parliamentary appropriations that satisfy the definition of a contribution
by owners), administrative arrangements and liabilities of government departments assumed by other entities.
AASB 1058 applies to income with a donation component, i.e. transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset is
significantly less than fair value principally to enable a not-for-profit entity to further its objectives; and volunteer services.
AASB 1058 adopts a residual approach, meaning that entities first apply other applicable Australian Accounting Standards
(e.g. AASB 1004, AASB 15, AASB 16, AASB 9, AASB 137) to a transaction before recognising income.
Not-for-profit entities need to determine whether a transaction is/contains a donation (accounted for under AASB 1058) or
a contract with a customer (accounted for under AASB 15).

The nature of these adjustments is described below:
Income from grants were previously recognised upon receipt of cash. Under the new revenue recognition
requirements of AASB 15, income should be recognised when a performance obligation, by transferring a promised
good or service, is satisfied. This may be at a point in time or over time. This has led to the accrual of grant income
where the entity has satisfied its obligations promised in the contract with the customer.
In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 1058, the District has adopted AASB 1058 retrospectively with the
cumulative effect of initially applying the standard at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019. The District has adopted
the practical expedient in AASB 1058 whereby existing assets acquired for consideration significantly less than fair value
principally to enable the District to further its objectives, are not restated to their fair value.
AASB 1058 requires recognition of receipt of an asset, after the recognition of any related amounts in accordance with
other Australian Accounting Standards, as income:

The nature of these adjustments is described below:
Income from grants to construct non-financial assets to be controlled by the entity were previously recognised upon
receipt of cash. Under the new revenue recognition requirements of AASB 1058, income should have been
recognised over time as the non-financial assets are being constructed. This has led the accrual of grant income
where the entity has satisfied its obligations to construct the assets.
The reason for the changes in grants and other contributions is due to the timing of revenue received to construct non-
financial assets to be controlled by the entity.
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 supersedes AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease,
Interpretation 115 Operating Leases – Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions
Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation

not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at 1 July 2019, for those contracts previously assessed under
AASB 117 and Interpretation 4;
using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease.
AASB 16 requires the District to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for
finance leases under AASB 117. As the lessee, the District recognises a lease liability and right-of-use asset at the
inception of the lease. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the future lease payments, discounted using
the interest rate implicit in the lease, or the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined. The corresponding right-of-use asset is measured at the value of the lease liability adjusted
for lease payments before inception, lease incentives, initial direct costs and estimates of costs for dismantling and
removing the asset or restoring the site on which it is located.
The District has adopted the partial retrospective option in AASB 16, where the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB
16 is recognised on 1 July 2019 and the comparatives for the year ended 30 June 2019 are not restated.
In relation to leases that had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under AASB 117, a lease liability is
recognised at 1 July 2019 at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the
lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 1.50%.
The corresponding right-of-use asset is initially recorded on transition at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by
the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the Statement of Financial
Position as at 30 June 2019.
The District elected to use the practical expedient to expense lease payments for lease contracts that, at their
commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases),
and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is valued at $10,000 or under when new (low-value assets).
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the District has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
Lessor accounting
Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify leases as
either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in AASB 117. Therefore, AASB 16 does not have a significant
impact for leases where the entity is the lessor.
Lessee accounting
For leases previously classified as finance leases the District recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease
liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of
initial application. The measurement principles of AASB 16 are only applied after that date.
applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
relying on its previous assessment on whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application as
an alternative to performing an impairment review;
not recognise a lease liability and right-of-use-asset for short-term leases that end within 12 months of the date of
initial application;
excluding the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of- use asset at the date of initial application; and

Upon review, the District has not identified any arrangements in scope of AASB 1059.
The District has completed its impact assessment of AASB 1059 by reviewing all material arrangements where the private
sector is performing any services on behalf of the District. Any identified arrangements have been assessed whether it falls
within the scope of AASB 1059. If it does meet the scoping guidelines of AASB 1059, financial impacts were calculated.
Overview of Assessment Activities
AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements is applicable to public sector entities only and is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2020. This standard requires the grantor to recognise a service concession asset in a
service concession arrangement where it controls the asset. A corresponding financial liability and/or grant of right liability
is also recognised depending on the nature of the consideration exchanged. Service concession assets (including those
provided by the operator, an upgrade to or a major component replacement of an existing asset of the grantor; and existing
assets of the grantor – also applicable to previously unrecognised intangible assets except goodwill) are initially measured
at current replacement cost based on AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement principles. They are subsequently accounted for
under AASB 116 Property, Plant & Equipment or AASB 138 Intangible Assets. Service concession liabilities are initially
measured at the same amount as the service concession asset and subsequently measured using either the 'financial
liability' model applying AASB 9 Financial Instruments or, the 'grant of right' model under AASB 1059 Service Concession
Arrangements. AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements requires retrospective application.
The District plans to adopt the new accounting standards on the required effective date in line with the NSW Treasury’s
instructions.

4. Visiting medical officers
Visiting medical officers (VMOs) enhance full-time medical specialist services by providing speciality input in a number of
disciplines throughout the District's hospitals. VMO expenses of $75,510 thousand (2019: $70,819 thousand) represent part of
the day-to-day running costs incurred in the normal operations of the District. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Personnel services of $998 thousand (2019: $904 thousand) have been capitalised in property, plant and equipment assets
and are excluded from the above.
Employee related costs of $998 thousand (2019: $904 thousand) have been capitalised in property, plant and equipment
assets and are therefore excluded from the above.
Personnel services of Western NSW Local Health District were provided by its controlled entity, Western NSW Local Health
District Special Purpose Service Entity.

Operating leases
Lease expense (up to 30 June 2019)
Operating expenses generally represent the day-to-day running costs incurred in the normal operations of the District. These
costs are expensed as incurred. The recognition and measurement policy for non-employee related expenses is detailed in
Note 29.
Lease expense (from 1 July 2019)
Up to 30 June 2019, operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.
Variable lease payments are not included in the measurement of the lease liability (i.e. variable lease payments that do not
depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date). These payments are
recognised in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.
Recognition and Measurement
Other expenses (continued)
Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred except where they relate to the replacement
or enhancement of a part or component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.
Lease expense
The District's insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund (TMF) Scheme of self insurance for
government entities. The expense / (premium) is determined by the fund manager based on past claims experience. The TMF
is managed by NSW Self Insurance Corporation (SiCorp), a controlled entity of the ultimate parent.
Insurance
Leases of assets that are valued at $10,000 or under when new.
Leases that meet the definition of short-term. i.e. where the lease term at commencement of the lease is 12 months or
less. This excludes leases with a purchase option.
From 1 July 2019, the District recognises the lease payments associated with the following types of leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis:

General operating expenses/revenues of Catholic Healthcare have only been included in the Statement of Comprehensive

to own or control the various assets/liabilities of the aforementioned Health Organisation and such amounts have been
excluded from the Statement of Financial Position. Any exceptions are specifically listed in the notes that follow.
Finance costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs are
recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, in accordance with NSW Treasury’s mandate to not-for-profit
NSW General Government Sector entities.
Payments to non-government affiliated health organisations generally comprise contributions in cash or in kind. Non-
government affiliated health organisations support the NSW Ministry of Health's role of 'system manager' in relation to the
NSW public health system. The payments are expensed on the transfer of the cash or assets. The transferred assets are
measured at their fair value.

10. Revenue
Recognition and Measurement
11. NSW Ministry of Health allocations
Until 30 June 2019, income is recognised in accordance with AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and
AASB 1004 Contributions.
From 1 July 2019, income is recognised in accordance with the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (AASB 15) or AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (AASB 1058), dependent on whether there is a contract
with a customer defined by AASB 15.
Payments are made by the immediate parent as per the Service Agreement to the District and adjusted for approved
supplementations, mostly for salary agreements and approved enhancement projects. The Service Agreement between the
immediate parent and the District does not contain sufficiently specific enforceable performance obligations as defined by
AASB 15 and are therefore recognised upon the receipt of cash, in accordance with AASB 1058.
Interstate patient flows are funded through the NSW State Pool Account, based on activity and consistent with the price
determined in cross border agreements. The funding is also recognised as part of the NSW Ministry of Health recurrent
allocation from the immediate parent.
The District recognised additional NSW Ministry of Health recurrent allocations of $5,466 thousand and NSW Ministry of Health
capital allocations of $Nil to cover costs incurred with preparation, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Deemed appropriation money is money received directly by the District which forms part of the consolidated fund and is not
appropriated to the District by an Act.
Under the GSF Act 2018, the District’s own source revenue (which includes but is not limited to receipts from NSW Ministry of
Health recurrent and capital allocations, patient fees, non-patient fees, grants and other contributions, other ancillary services,
proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and the proceeds from the sale of financial assets) meets the
definition of deemed appropriation money under the GSF Act (Section 4.7).

Rendering of services from contracts with customers (from 1 July 2019)
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when the District satisfies the performance obligation by transferring the
promised services. Revenue is typically recognised as follows:
Department of Veterans' Affairs
Revenue for highly specialised drugs is paid by the Commonwealth in accordance with the terms of the Commonwealth
agreement through Medicare and reflects the recoupment of costs incurred under Section 100 of the National Health Act
1953 for highly specialised drugs. The agreement provides for the provision of medicines for the treatment of chronic
conditions where specific criteria are met in respect of admitted day patients, non admitted patients or patients on
discharge. Revenue is recognised when the drugs have been provided to the patient.
Motor Accident Authority third party
A bulk billing agreement exists in which motor vehicle insurers' effect payment directly to NSW Health for the hospital
costs for those persons hospitalised or attending for inpatient treatment as a result of motor vehicle accidents. The District
recognises the revenue on an accrual basis from the time the patient is treated or admitted into hospital.
Highly specialised drugs
Rendering of services (until 30 June 2019)
Revenue is recognised when the service is provided or by reference to the type and stage of services provided to date.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the District satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the promised
goods. Sale of goods comprises of pharmacy sales, sale of prosthesis and other items. The District typically satisfies its
performance obligations when the control of goods is transferred to the customer. The payments are typically due when
invoiced.
Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, and revenue is only recognised to the
extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales
are made with a short credit term. No volume discount or warranty is provided on the sale.
Patient fees are derived from chargeable inpatients and non-inpatients on the basis of rates specified by the NSW Ministry
of Health. Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided to the patient.
Patient fees
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under various contracts. No element of financing is deemed present as
payments are due when the service is provided.
Refer to Note 30 for the disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that
are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period, and when the District expects to recognise the
unsatisfied portion as revenue.
An agreement is in place with the Commonwealth Department of Veterans' Affairs through which direct funding is provided
for the provision of health services to entitled veterans. For inpatient services, revenue is recognised by the District on an
accrual basis by reference to patient admissions. Non admitted patients are recognised by the NSW Ministry of Health in
the form of a block grant.
Use of hospital facilities
Specialist doctors with rights of private practice are subject to an infrastructure charge, including service charges where
applicable for the use of hospital facilities at rates determined by the NSW Ministry of Health.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for
financial assets that subsequently become credit impaired. For financial assets that become credit impaired the effective
interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the financial asset (i.e. after deducting the loss allowance for expected credit
losses).

Revenue from grants with sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the District satisfies a performance
obligation by transferring the promised goods or services. The District typically receives grants in respect of research, clinical
drug trials and other community, health and wellbeing related projects. The District uses various methods to recognise
revenue over time, depending on the nature and terms and conditions of the grant contract. The payments are typically based
on agreed timetable or on achievement of different milestones set up in the contract.
Income from grants to acquire / construct a recognisable non-financial asset to be controlled by the District is recognised
when the District satisfies its obligations under the transfer. The District satisfies the performance obligation under the transfer
over time as the non-financial assets are being constructed. The percentage of cost incurred is used to recognise income,
because this most closely reflects the progress to completion.
Contributions are recognised at their fair value. Contributions of services are recognised when and only when a fair value of
those services can be reliably determined and the services would be purchased if not donated.
Revenue from these grants is recognised based on the grant amount specified in the funding agreement/funding approval,
and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of
financing is deemed present as funding payments are usually received in advance or shortly after the relevant obligation is
satisfied.
Receipt of these services, while important, is not recognised because typically such services would not have been purchased
if not donated.
Receipt of volunteer services is recognised when and only when the fair value of those services can be reliably determined
and the services would have been purchased if not donated. Volunteer services recognised are measured at fair value. The
District receives volunteer services for the below activities:
Volunteer services
Income from grants without sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised when the District obtains control over
the granted assets (e.g. cash).
Refer to Note 30 for the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that have not been satisfied at the end of
the year and when it is expected to be recognised as revenue.
- Counselling, Transport, Home Help and Patient Activities
- Practical Support to Patients and Relatives
- Patient Services, Fund Raising
- Patient and Family Support
Income from grants (other than contributions by owners) is recognised when the entity obtains control over the contribution.
The District is deemed to have assumed control when the grant is received or receivable.

HealthShare NSW, a controlled entity of the immediate parent makes all payments to employees and most payments to
suppliers of goods and services and grants and subsidies on behalf of the District. These payments are reported as expenses
and operating cash outflows in the financial statements of the District.
HealthShare NSW receives payments directly from the NSW Ministry of Health on behalf of the District to fund these
payments. These payments are reported as revenue (NSW Ministry of Health recurrent allocations) and operating cash
inflows in the financial statements of the District when HealthShare NSW makes these payments on behalf of the District.
Health Infrastructure, a controlled entity of the immediate parent makes most payments to purchase property, plant and
equipment on behalf of the District. These payments are reported as additions to property, plant and equipment and investing
cash outflows in the financial statements of the District.

The current and non-current trade receivables from contracts with customers balances above include the following
patient fee receivables:
Details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including financial assets that are either past due or impaired are
disclosed in Note 41.
All ‘regular way’ purchases or sales of receivables are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of receivables that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace.
For lease receivables, the District applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 Financial Instruments, where the loss
allowance is based on lifetime ECLs.
For trade receivables, the District applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. The District recognises a loss allowance
based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The District has established a provision matrix based on its historical credit
loss experience for trade receivables, adjusted for forward looking factors specific to the receivable.
The District recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt financial assets not held at fair value
through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the
District expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The District holds receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Changes are recognised in the net result for the year
when impaired, derecognised or through the amortisation process.
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not
contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price.

Recognition and Measurement
The cost of inventories acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration is the current replacement cost as at the date of
acquisition. Current replacement cost is the cost the District would incur to acquire the asset. Net realisable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.
Inventories held for distribution are stated at cost, adjusted when applicable, for any loss of service potential. A loss of service
potential is identified and measured based on the existence of a current replacement cost that is lower than the carrying
amount. Inventories (other than those held for distribution) are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is
calculated using the weighted average cost method.
Obsolete items are disposed of in accordance with instructions issued by the NSW Ministry of Health.
Market demand has increased the weighted average cost of inventories in medical and surgical supplies due to the outbreak
of COVID-19. Market demand for these items is expected to continue and as a result the carrying amount and current
replacement cost are aligned. At the 30 June 2020, the District has determined that it plans to use the remaining medical and
surgical supplies inventory in a relatively short time period, well before expiry, and there is no available alternative that is more
efficient or effective nor a likelihood of an alternative being on the market in the foreseeable future.

Recognition and Measurement
Other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus any transaction costs. Other financial assets include intra health
loans and deposits with a maturity of three months or more.
Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortised cost as they are held for collection of
contractual cash flows solely representing payments of principal and interest. Impairment losses are presented as a separate
line item in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in net
results and presented in other gains / (losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses.
The District uses the ratings from external credit rating agencies both to determine whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk on the deposits and to estimate ECLs. These estimates are performed at every reporting date.
The District recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt financial assets not held at fair value
through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the
District expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, ECLs are based on default events possible within the next 12-months (i.e. a 12-month ECL). If there has
been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over
the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (i.e. a lifetime ECL). In addition, the District
considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
All ‘regular way’ purchases or sales of other financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular
way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of other financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame
established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Refer to Note 41 for details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk arising from financial instruments.
The District term deposits are issued by financial institutions that have strong credit ratings and therefore considered to be low
credit risk investments. Hence, the District measures the loss allowance for term deposits at an amount equal to a 12-month
ECL. However, when there is a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime
ECL.

Western NSW Local Health District

24. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Land and buildings are owned by the Health Administration Corporation. Land and buildings which are operated/occupied by
the District are deemed to be controlled by the District and are reflected as such in the financial statements.
Where payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred
payment amount is effectively discounted over the period of credit.
Major inspection costs
Property, plant and equipment acquired are initially recognised at cost and subsequently revalued at fair value less
accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other
consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount
attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting
Standards.
Acquisition of property, plant and equipment
Health Administration Corporation, a controlled entity of the immediate parent, manages the approved major capital works
program for the NSW Ministry of Health and its controlled entities. Health Administration Corporation receives NSW Ministry of
Health Capital Allocations and grants on behalf of the District and makes payments to contractors and suppliers. Health
Administration Corporation initially records all costs incurred as work in progress or expenses and subsequently transfers to
the District. The costs are then accordingly reflected in the District financial statements. The District acquires most assets in
this manner.
Recognition and Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at
measurement date.
Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition
(see also assets transferred as a result of an equity transfer - Note 40).
When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a
replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.
Capitalisation thresholds
The present value of the expected cost for the restoration or cost of dismantling of an asset after its use is included in the cost
of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Restoration costs
Property, plant and equipment assets costing $10,000 and above individually (or forming part of a network costing more than
$10,000) are capitalised.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Right-of-use assets acquired by lessees (under AASB 16 from 1 July 2019)
Finance leases acquired by lessees (Under AASB 117 until 30 June 2019)
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and
adjusted if appropriate.
'Infrastructure Systems' comprises public facilities which provide essential services and enhance the productive capacity of
the economy including roads, bridges, water infrastructure and distribution works, sewerage treatment plants, seawalls and
water reticulation systems.
'Plant and equipment' comprises, among others, medical, computer and office equipment, motor vehicles, furniture and fittings
and PODS (a detachable or self-contained unit on ambulances used for patient treatment).
Details of depreciation rates initially applied for major asset categories are as follows:
Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets so as to write off the depreciable amount of each
asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the District. Land is not a depreciable asset. All material identifiable components
of assets are depreciated over their useful lives.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the asset’s useful life. However, if there is
no reasonable certainty that the lessee entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over
the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2019 includes non-current assets acquired under finance leases only. The assets
are recognised at fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, at the inception of the lease.
Property, plant and equipment does not include amounts in respect of operating leases.
Until 30 June 2019, AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117) distinguished between finance leases that effectively transfer from the
lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets, and operating leases
under which the lessor does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards.
Subsequent to the adoption of AASB 16, the District, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use asset at cost and a corresponding
lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment properties
are included in Property, Plant and Equipment under the corresponding asset categories. Further information on right-of-use
assets is contained in Note 25.
Further information on leases is contained in Note 25.
Therefore, at that date property, plant and equipment recognised under leases previously treated as finance leases under
AASB 117 are derecognised. The right-of-use assets arising from these leases are recognised and included in the separate
line item together with those arising from leases previously treated as operating leases under AASB 117.
From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset for most leases. The
District has elected to present right-of-use assets separately in the Statement of Financial Position.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
24. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount of each asset in the class does not differ
materially from its fair value at reporting date. The District conducts a comprehensive revaluation at least every three years for
its land and buildings and infrastructure. Interim desktop revaluations are conducted between comprehensive revaluations for
those assets, where cumulative changes to indicators suggest fair value may differ materially from carrying value. The District
uses an independent professionally qualified valuer for such revaluations.
Privately financed project (PFP) assets accounted for under AASB 117 (until 30 June 2020)
For other assets valued using other valuation techniques, any balances of accumulated depreciation existing at the
revaluation date in respect of those assets are credited to the asset accounts to which they relate. The net asset accounts are
then increased or decreased by the revaluation increments or decrements.
Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost, as an approximation of fair value.
The District has assessed that any difference between fair value and depreciated historical cost is unlikely to be material.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the District management performed an additional assessment to determine if
the fair value of its property plant and equipment as at 30 June 2020 materially differed from the carrying value. Management
concluded that there is no definitive or conclusive market evidence to support any material adjustments. No adjustments were
applied as a result.
Fair value of property, plant and equipment is based on a market participants’ perspective, using valuation techniques (market
approach, cost approach, income approach) that maximise relevant observable inputs and minimise unobservable inputs.
Also refer to Note 27 for further information regarding fair value.
The last comprehensive revaluation was completed on 31 December 2019 and was based on an independent assessment.
Property, plant and equipment is measured at the highest and best use by market participant's that is physically possible,
legally permissible and financially feasible. The highest and best use must be available at a period that is not remote and
takes into account the characteristics of the asset being measured, including any socio-political restrictions imposed by
government. In most cases, after taking into account these considerations, the highest and best use is the existing use. In
limited circumstances, the highest and best use may be a feasible alternative use, where there are no restrictions on use or
where there is a feasible higher restricted alternative use.
Physical non-current assets are valued in accordance with the 'Valuation of Physical Non-Current Assets at Fair Value' Policy
and Guidelines Paper (TPP 14-01). This policy adopts fair value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, AASB
116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 140 Investment Property.
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
The District has adopted the option to not apply AASB 16 to assets that would be classified as service concession assets in
accordance with AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements: Grantors. The District continues to apply its existing
accounting policy to these assets until AASB 1059 is applied. In a privately financed project (PFP), a public-sector entity (the
grantor) arranges for the private sector (the operator) to design, finance and build infrastructure and provide associated
operational or management services for an agreed period (the service period). They are currently accounted for under TPP 06-
8 Privately Financed Projects. Some PFP assets are acquired under a finance lease and accounted for following the principles
of AASB 117 according to TPP 06-8.
Interim revaluations are conducted between comprehensive revaluations where cumulative changes to indicators suggest fair
value may differ materially from carrying value.

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment (continued)
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Revaluation increments are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to revaluation surplus in equity.
However, to the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of the same class of asset previously
recognised as a loss in the net result, the increment is recognised immediately as a gain in the net result.
When revaluing non-current assets using the cost approach, the gross amount and the related accumulated depreciation are
separately restated. Where the income approach or market approach is used, accumulated depreciation is eliminated against
the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Derecognition of property, plant and equipment
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted if appropriate.
Where an asset that has previously been revalued is disposed of, any balance remaining in the revaluation surplus in respect
of that asset is transferred to accumulated funds.
After an impairment loss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in net result and is treated as a
revaluation increase. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same class of asset was previously recognised in
net result, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in net result.
As a not-for-profit entity, an impairment loss is recognised in the net result to the extent the impairment loss exceeds the
amount in the revaluation surplus for the class of asset.
Specialised assets held for continuing use of their service capacity are rarely sold and their cost of disposal is typically
negligible. Their recoverable amount is expected to be materially the same as fair value, where they are regularly revalued
under AASB 13.
The District assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the District estimates the asset’s recoverable amount.
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount.
As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, impairment under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets is unlikely to arise.
As property, plant and equipment is carried at fair value or an amount that approximates fair value, impairment can only arise
in the rare circumstances such as where the costs of disposal are material.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from
its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the
asset and are included in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
As a not-for-profit entity, revaluation increments and decrements are offset against one another within a class of non-current
assets, but not otherwise.
Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately as a loss in the net result, except to the extent that it offsets an existing
revaluation surplus on the same class of assets, in which case, the decrement is debited directly to the revaluation surplus.

Potential future cash outflows of $0.266 million have not been included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably
certain that the leases will be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant
change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.
During the current financial year, the financial effect of revising lease terms to reflect the effect of exercising extensions and
termination options was an increase in recognised lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $Nil.

From 1 July 2019, AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease
liability for most leases.
The District leases various property, medical equipment and motor vehicles. Lease contracts are typically made for fixed
periods of 1 to 30 years, but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a
wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants but leased assets may not
be used as security for borrowing purposes. The District does not provide residual value guarantees in relation to leases.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases. These terms are used to
maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held are
exercisable only by the District and not by the respective lessor. In determining the lease term, management considers all
facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination
option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably
certain to be extended (or not terminated).
The District has elected to recognise payments for short-term leases and low value leases as expenses on a straight line
basis, instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12
months or less. Low value assets are assets with a fair value of $10,000 or less when new and comprise mainly of small office
and medical equipment items.
The following table presents right-of-use assets. There are no right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment
property.

The District entered into a 15 year lease with the Charles Sturt University for the use of a dental and oral health clinic. The
contract specifies lease payments of $Nil per annum. The leased premise is be used by the District to provide different
community health services. The community health buildings account for a small portion of the similar assets the District is
using for the purpose of providing community health services. Therefore it does not have a significant impact on the District's

Recognition and Measurement (under AASB 16 from 1 July 2019)
The District recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the
underlying assets, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The District assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

ii.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. The District assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is
required, the District estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. After an impairment
loss has been recognised, it is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s
recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable
amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the net result.
The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost. They are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the District at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a
purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined,
which is generally the case for real estate leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used. The District does not borrow
funds in the market. Instead they receive an allocation of the appropriations from the Crown Entity and where the Crown
Entity needs additional funding, Treasury Corporation (TCorp) goes to the market to obtain these funds. As a result, the
District is using TCorp rates as their incremental borrowing rates. These rates are published by NSW Treasury on a
regular basis.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred
to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the District recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include:
● fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
● variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
● amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees;
● exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the District; and
● payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the District exercising the option to
terminate.
Right-of-use assets
The District recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is
available for use). Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of initial measurement of the lease liability
(refer (ii) below), adjusted by any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, lease incentives, any initial
direct costs incurred, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset or restoring the site.

(b) Entity as a lessor
The District applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of buildings, machinery, motor
vehicles and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and
do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office
equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are
recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments were recognised as an operating expense
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases was depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if
there is no reasonable certainty that the District will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset was depreciated
over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Where a non-current asset was acquired by means of a finance lease, at the commencement of the lease, the asset was
recognised at its fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability was
established at the same amount. Lease payments were apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease
liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges were recognised
in finance costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Recognition and measurement (under AASB 117 until 30 June 2019)
The initial and subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets under leases at significantly below-market terms and
conditions that are entered into principally to enable the District to further its objectives is the same as normal right-of-use
assets. They are measured at cost, subject to impairment.
The District leases spaces located within the hospital precincts to a variety of non government organisations under operating
leases with rental payable monthly to quarterly. Lease payments generally contain uplift clauses to align to the market
conditions.
The District’s lease liabilities are included in borrowings in Note 31.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification,
a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in
an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the
underlying asset.
Until 30 June 2019, a lease was classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the District was classified as a finance lease.
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a
specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset (or assets), even if that asset (or those assets)
is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over
the lease terms and is included in revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income due to its operating nature. Initial direct
costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and
recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period
in which they are earned.
Lessor for operating leases
Finance income arising from finance leases is recognised over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant
periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease.
At the lease commencement date, the District recognises a receivable for assets held under a finance lease in its Statement
of Financial Position at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The net investment in leases is classified as
financial assets amortised cost and equals the lease payments receivable by a lessor and the unguaranteed residual value,
plus initial direct costs, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease.
Leases that the District transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as
finance leases. From 1 July 2019, subleases are classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease,
rather than by reference to the underlying asset.

Recognition and Measurement
These assets are not depreciated while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the
liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are continued to be recognised.
The District has certain non-current assets classified as held for sale, where their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction, not through continuing use. Non-current assets held for sale are recognised at the lower of carrying
amount and fair value less costs of disposal.
Non-current assets held for sale comprise land and buildings associated with properties in Warren, Orange and Molong.
These properties were assessed as surplus to the District's needs. During the year properties at Orange and Molong were
impaired as a result of their fair value less costs to dispose being less than the carrying amount. The expected timing and
manner of disposal for each property are still to be finalised as they are dependent on a variety of factors, such as potential
remediation works.
Further details regarding fair value measurement are disclosed in Note 27.

Non-current assets held for sale (Note 26)
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to
sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a
principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
A number of the District’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring fair value, the valuation technique used maximises the use of relevant
observable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs. Under AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, the District
categorises, for disclosure purposes, the valuation techniques based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets / liabilities that the entity can access at the
measurement date.
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

27. Fair value measurement of non-financial assets (continued)
(b)
At the end of each reporting period a fair value assessment is made on any movements since the last revaluation, and a
determination as to whether any adjustments need to be made. These adjustments are made by way of application of
indices (refer Note 24 reconciliation).
The non-current assets categorised in (a) above have been measured as either level 2 or level 3 based on the following
valuation techniques and inputs:
For land, the valuation by the valuer is made on a market approach, comparing similar assets (not identical) and
observable inputs. The most significant input is price per square metre.
All commercial and non-restricted land is included in level 2 as these land valuations have a high level of observable
inputs although these lands are not identical.
All of the restricted land has been classified as level 3 as, although observable inputs have been used, a significant level
of professional judgement is required to adjust inputs in determining the land valuations. Certain parcels of land have
zoning restrictions, for example hospital grounds, and values are adjusted accordingly.
For buildings and infrastructure, many assets are of a specialised nature or use, and thus the most appropriate valuation
method is depreciated replacement cost. These assets are included as level 3 as these assets have a high level of
unobservable inputs. However, residential properties are valued on a market approach and included in level 2.
Non-current assets held for sale is a non-recurring item that is measured at the lower of its fair value less cost to sell or its
carrying amount. These assets are categorised as level 2.
For land, buildings and infrastructure systems the District obtains external valuations by independent valuers at least every
three years. The last revaluation was performed by CBRE Pty Ltd for the 2019-20 financial year. CBRE Pty Ltd is an
independent entity and is not an associated entity of the District.

Contract liabilities relate to consideration received in advance from customers. The balance of the contract liabilities at the 30
June 2020 was impacted by the timing of payments received for grants and other contributions. The satisfaction of the specific
performance obligations within the contract hadn't been met at the 30 June 2020. Revenue from the contract liabilities will be
recognised when the specific performance obligations have been met.
The contract liability balance has significantly increased during the year because of the timing of payments received. These
payments relate to 5 separate grant agreements.
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations relates to the following revenue classes and is
expected to be recognised as follows:

Financial liabilities at amortised cost
No assets have been pledged as security / collateral for liabilities and there are no restrictions on any title to property.
Final repayment of the Public Private Partnership borrowings is scheduled for September 2035.
Other loans and deposits still to be extinguished represent monies to be repaid to NSW Treasury, an entity controlled by the
ultimate parent.
Details regarding credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including a maturity analysis of the above borrowings are disclosed in
Note 41.
Borrowings classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable
transaction costs. These are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses
are recognised in the net result when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.
Finance lease liabilities are determined in accordance with AASB 117 Leases until 30 June 2019. From 1 July 2019, lease
liabilities are determined in accordance with AASB 16.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the District has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the reporting date. Refer to Note 41 (b) for derecognition policy.

In 2008/09, NSW Health requested a contract variation to expand the Orange Hospital and health facilities to
accommodate additional clincial services. Following the change procedures in the Project Deed and subsequently
government approval, the Project Deed was amended through the Deed of Amendment No 1. in June 2010.
Upon construction completion of the new facilities, including the Orange Hospital in March 2011, Western NSW Local
Health District (LHD) recognised these facilities as an asset of $162.1 million under the original PPP financing
arrangements. In addition, the District recognsied the liability to Pinnacle Healthcare, payable over the period to 2035 for
the construction of the new Orange Hospital, Orange Tertiary Mental Health and refurbished facilities.
In December 2007, a private sector company, Pinnacle Healthcare (OAHS) Pty Limited, was engaged to finance, design
and construct the new Orange Hospital and new health facilities including Orange Tertiary Mental Health and other
expansion works. Pinnacle would also refurbish existing buildings and provide facilities management services for these
hospital facilities and the new Bathurst Hospital under a Project Deed.
Minimum lease payments in relation to PPP finance leases recognised under AASB 117 Leases as required by TPP 06-08
are payable as follows:
The present value of PPP finance lease payments is as follows:
The Public, Private Partnership relate to the provision of service-enabling infrastructure that includes private sector
delivering a combination of design, construction, financing, maintenance, operations and delivery of clinical and non-
clinical services. Payments are made by the District to the private sector entities on the basis of delivery of assets or
service delivery. The liability to pay the private sector entities is based on financing arrangements involving Consumer
Price Index (CPI)-linked finance and fixed finance.

Recognition and Measurement
Employee benefits and other provisions
Salaries and wages, annual leave, sick leave, allocated days off (ADO) and on-costs
Salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits) and paid sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12
months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured at the
undiscounted amounts of the benefits.
Annual leave and ADO are not expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in
which the employees render the related service. As such, they are required to be measured at present value in accordance
with AASB 119 Employee Benefits (although short-cut methods are permitted).
Actuarial advice obtained by NSW Treasury, a controlled entity of the ultimate parent, has confirmed that using the nominal
annual leave balance plus the annual leave entitlements accrued while taking annual leave can be used to approximate the
present value of the annual leave liability. On-costs of 18.2% are applied to the value of leave payable at 30 June 2020
(comparable on-costs for 30 June 2019 were 18.2%). The District has assessed the actuarial advice based on the District’s
circumstances to both the annual leave and ADO and has determined that the effect of discounting is immaterial. All annual
leave and ADO are classified as a current liability even where the District does not expect to settle the liability within 12
months as the District does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement.
Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the
future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.
Long service leave and superannuation
The District's liability for long service leave and defined benefit superannuation (State Authorities Superannuation Scheme
and State Superannuation Scheme) are assumed by the Crown Entity, which is a controlled entity of the ultimate parent. The
District accounts for the liability as having been extinguished, resulting in the amount assumed being shown as part of the non-
monetary revenue item described as 'Acceptance by the Crown Entity of employee benefits'.
Specific on-costs relating to long service leave assumed by the Crown Entity are borne by the District.
A provision has been recognised for a disputed contractual obligation that management expect to be settled in the next
financial year.
Movements in provisions (other than employee benefits)
Movements in other provisions during the financial year, other than employee benefits, are set out below:
Western NSW Local Health DistrictNotes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
32. Provisions (continued)
Any provisions for restructuring are recognised only when the District has a detailed formal plan, and the District has raised a
valid expectation in those affected by the restructuring that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan
or announcing its main features to those affected.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time (i.e. unwinding of discount rate) is recognised as a finance cost.
Other provisions are recognised when: the District has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it
is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. When the District expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an
insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually
certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented net of any reimbursement in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.
The superannuation expense for the financial year is determined by using the formulae specified in the Treasurer’s Directions.
The expense for certain superannuation schemes (i.e. Basic Benefit and First State Super) is calculated as a percentage of
the employee's salary. For other superannuation schemes (i.e. State Superannuation Scheme and State Authorities
Superannuation Scheme), the expense is calculated as a multiple of the employee's superannuation contributions.
Consequential costs to employment are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they
relate have been recognised. This includes outstanding amounts of workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe
benefits tax.
Consequential on-costs
Long service leave is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided
up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to certain factors based on actuarial review, including expected future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using
the long-term Commonwealth Government bond rate at the reporting date.

NSW Health's budget is shown at a consolidated level when presented in parliament each year (i.e. in the NSW Government
Budget Papers). The District's budget is not presented in parliament, therefore AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting is not
applicable. Unlike the requirement in AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting to present original budget information, the District's
financial statements present adjusted budget information. The adjusted budgeted amounts are drawn from the initial Service
Agreements between the District and the NSW Ministry of Health at the beginning of the financial year, as well as any
adjustments for the effects of additional supplementation provided in accordance with delegations to derive a final budget at
year end (i.e. adjusted budget). The budget amounts are not subject to audit and, accordingly, the relevant budget entries in
the financial statements are unaudited.
Total Assets were $189 million higher than the adjusted budget position, primarily reflective of the uplift in property, plant and
equipment as a result of revaluation of this asset class. Total Liabilities were $11 million higher than budget. The variance to
budget is largely reflected in higher than budgeted borrowings and provisions.
Net cash inflows from operating activities were $4 million higher than budget. This was primarily driven by increases in grants
and other contribution revenue. Net cash outflows from investing activities and financing activities were $3 million higher than
budget due to the scheduled maturation and reinvestment of term deposits, containing additional Restricted Financial Assets
monies, being higher than original estimate, coupled with borrowing repayments being higher than budget.
Movements in the level of the NSW Ministry of Health Recurrent Allocation that have occurred since the time of the initial
allocation on 1 July 2019 are as follows:
The actual Net Result was lower than adjusted budget by $1 million. Increased usage of visiting medical officers led to higher
expenses, with most other expense categories broadly in line with budget. Overall total revenue was aligned to budget.

Recognition and Measurement
Equity transfers
The transfer of net assets between entities as a result of an administrative restructure, transfers of programs/functions and
parts thereof between entities controlled by the ultimate parent are recognised as an adjustment to 'Accumulated Funds'. This
treatment is consistent with AASB 1004 Contributions and Australian Accounting Interpretation 1038 Contributions by Owners
Made to Wholly-Owned Public Sector Entities.
Transfers arising from an administrative restructure involving not-for-profit entities and for-profit government entities are
recognised at the amount at which the asset was recognised by the transferor immediately prior to the restructure. Subject to
below, in most instances this will approximate fair value.
All other equity transfers are recognised at fair value, except for intangibles. Where an intangible has been recognised at
amortised cost by the transferor because there is no active market, the District recognises the asset at the transferor's carrying
amount. Where the transferor is prohibited from recognising internally generated intangibles, the District does not recognise
that asset.
Annual Leave Provision
Nil
Annual Leave Provision - Transfer of Annual Leave Provisions between NSW Health
entities
An equity transfer was made between NSW Health entities to realign the annual leave liability to the current legal employer
as held in the payroll system (StaffLink) for various employment arrangements, including staff on rotation and
secondment. This has resulted in an increase in net assets of $0.970 million relating to the transfer of Annual Leave
provision balances to other NSW Health entities.
The category 'accumulated funds' includes all current and prior period retained funds.
Accumulated Funds
The revaluation surplus is used to record increments and decrements on the revaluation of non-current assets. This accords
with the District's policy on the revaluation of property, plant and equipment as discussed in Note 24.

(b) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Acting Chief Executive has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and
agrees policies for managing each of these risks. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks
faced by the District, to set risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Compliance with policies is reviewed on a continuous
basis.
The District's principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the District's
operations or are required to finance its operations. The District does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including
derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The District's main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the District's objectives, policies and
processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout these
financial statements.

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or if the entity transfers its
rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without
material delay to a third party under a pass through arrangement and either:
● The District has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
● The District has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards for the asset, but has transferred
control.
The District determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities after initial recognition and, when allowed and
appropriate, re-evaluates this at each financial year end.

Collectability of trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Procedures as
established in the Treasurer’s Directions are followed to recover outstanding amounts, including letters of demand.
The District applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected
loss allowance for all trade receivables and other receivables.
Credit risk arises when there is the possibility that the counterparty will default on their contractual obligations, resulting in a
financial loss to the District. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the
financial assets (net of any allowance for credit losses).
Credit risk arises from financial assets of the District, including cash, receivables and authority deposits. No collateral is
held by the District. The District has not granted any financial guarantees.
Credit risk associated with the District's financial assets, other than receivables, is managed through the selection of
counterparties and establishment of minimum credit rating standards. Authority deposits held with NSW TCorp are
guaranteed by the State.
The District considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain
cases, the District may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that
the District is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit
enhancements held by the District.
Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances deposited within the NSW Treasury banking system. Interest is earned
on daily bank balances at rates of approximately 0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 1.52%) in 2019-20 compared to
0.00% (Restricted Funds Bank balance: 2.31%) in the previous year.
Cash and cash equivalents
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and other receivables have been grouped based on shared credit
risk characteristics and the days past due.

Receivables - trade receivables and other receivables
Credit risk
When the District has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass through
arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. Where the District has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or transferred control, the asset continues to be
recognised to the extent of the District's continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the District also recognises an
associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the entity has retained.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. When
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the net
result.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Statement of Financial Position if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

The expected loss rates are based on historical observed loss rates. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current
and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
The District has identified relevant factors, and accordingly has adjusted the historical loss rates based on expected
changes in these factors.
Trade receivables and other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that
there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others a failure to make contractual payments for a period
of greater than 90 days past due.
The loss allowance for trade receivables and other receivables as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 was determined as
follows:
The District is not materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors as at 30
June 2020.
¹ The analysis excludes statutory receivables and prepayments as these are not within the scope of AASB7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
Therefore the 'total' will not reconcile to the receivables total in Note 21.
2Prior year balances have been restated to include other receivables.

During the current and prior year, there were no defaults of loans payable. No assets have been pledged as collateral.
For other suppliers, where settlement cannot be affected in accordance with the above, e.g. due to short term liquidity
constraints, contact is made with creditors and terms of payment are negotiated to the satisfaction of both parties.
For small business suppliers, where payment is not made within the specified time period, simple interest must be paid
automatically unless an existing contract specifies otherwise.
Liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced.
Until the 30 June 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set by
the NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury Circular 11/12. For small business suppliers, where terms
are not specified, payment is made not later than 5 days from the date of receipt of a correctly rendered invoice. For other
suppliers, if trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of a correctly
rendered invoice or a statement is received. From 1 July 2019, amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are
settled in accordance with the policy set by the NSW Ministry of Health in accordance with NSW Treasury. For all suppliers,
that has a correctly rendered invoice, that has a matched purchase order and where goods have been received, an
immediate payment is made irrespective of current contract payment terms.
The District has exposure to liquidity risk. However, the risk is minimised by the service agreement with the NSW Ministry
of Health, as the annual service agreement requires local management to control its financial liquidity and in particular meet
benchmarks for the payment of creditors. Where the District fails to meet service agreement performance standards, the
Ministry as the state manager can take action in accordance with annual performance framework requirements, including
providing financial support and increased management interaction (refer Note 1).
The District has negotiated no loan outside of arrangements with the NSW Ministry of Health or NSW Treasury.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the District will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The District
continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high
quality liquid assets. The objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of
overdrafts, loans and other advances.

(e) Fair value measurement
i. Fair value compared to carrying amount
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily through the District's interest bearing
liabilities. This risk is minimised by undertaking mainly fixed rate borrowings, primarily through NSW TCorp. The District
does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other
comprehensive income. Therefore, for these financial instruments, a change in interest rates would not affect profit or loss
or equity. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates (based on official
Reserve Bank of Australia interest rate volatility over the last five years). The basis will be reviewed annually and amended
where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility.
20192020
$000 $000
Therefore the fair value of the financial instruments does not differ from the carrying amount.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. The District's exposures to market risk are primarily through interest rate risk on the District's borrowings
and other price risks associated with the movement in the Hour Glass Investment Facilities. The District has no exposure
to foreign currency risk and does not enter into commodity contracts.
The effect on net result and equity due to a reasonably possible change in risk variable is outlined in the information
below, for interest rate risk and other price risk. A reasonably possible change in risk variable has been determined after
taking into account the economic environment in which the District operates and the time frame for the assessment (i.e.
until the end of the next annual reporting period). The sensitivity analysis is based on risk exposures in existence at the
Statement of Financial Position date. The analysis is performed on the same basis as for 2019. The analysis assumes that
all other variables remain constant.
Market risk
However, the District is not permitted to borrow external to the NSW Ministry of Health (except energy loans which are
negotiated through NSW Treasury). Both NSW Treasury and NSW Ministry of Health loans are set at fixed rates and
therefore are generally not affected by fluctuations in market rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or in
the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The amortised cost of financial instruments recognised in the Statement of Financial Position approximates the fair value,
because of the short term nature of many of the financial instruments.
