Management and accountability
Structure and organisation
The Director, Dr Tony Webber, is a statutory officer appointed by the Minister for Health and Ageing (with agreement from the AMA) to manage the PSR process. The Director reports to the Minister and his actions are governed by the Health Insurance Act 1973.
An Executive Officer, Ms Alison Millett, reports to the Director and has a leadership role in achieving organisational objectives through overseeing management of operational and corporate matters, governance and policy advice.
During the year PSR reviewed its organisational structure to reflect its growing workload and the expected impact of the 2006 Review of the PSR Scheme. The revised structure includes an Operations Unit with responsibility for managing all PSR’s business processes, a Corporate Unit providing corporate services, and a Skills and Capability Development Unit providing technical development and training for operational staff and Deputy Directors, Panel members and members of the Determining Authority (see Figure 1).
PSR operates two standing committees – an Audit Committee and a Management Committee.
