Collection and Usage Attributes
To provide detailed information on public hospital establishments including expenditure, revenue and staffing (FTE) levels, teaching accreditation and identify specialised service indicators for hospitals for national and state reporting.
The scope of reporting to FRAC includes components relative to the three hierarchical levels of the public hospital system:
- public acute and psychiatric hospitals (PHE component)
- HHS (excluding public acute and psychiatric hospitals) (HHS component)
- - HHS reporting is the 'gap amounts' i.e. total HHS minus all of the declared public hospitals in the HHS and includes the non-hospital facilities of the HHS.
- jurisdiction (public hospital services managed by the State e.g. Surgery Connect, Community Services Funding Branch).
Queensland
Detailed expenditure/revenue, budget, staffing, teaching accreditation and activity data.
All Queensland public hospitals, public residential psychiatric hospitals, public nursing homes, HHSs and the State.
FRAC data are published in Australian Government publications such as Report on Government Services (ROGS), Australian Hospital Statistics and the My Hospitals web-site.
Data collected on an annual basis.
SENSITIVE
Ad hoc requests for data are handled by the Statistical Reporting and Coordination Unit, Statistical Services Branch.
Requests for access to data are considered on a case-by-case basis.

To request aggregated or summary data and statistics, email HlthStat@health.qld.gov.au.

To request linked data and/or potentially identifiable data for research purposes, email HSBresearch@health.qld.gov.au. Release of identifiable or potentially identifiable data requires Data Custodian approval. Data may be requested for research purposes or for other authorised purposes if permitted under the relevant State legislation.

For further information refer to the 'How to access data from the Statistical Services Branch' page on the Queensland Health internet site: https://www.health.qld.gov.au/hsu/how-to-access-data-from-ssb
Any caveats on the data will be included with the data.
FRAC is managed overall by the Statistical Services Branch. The data collection approach is that Healthcare Purchasing and System Performance Division prepare, distribute and validate the expenditure, product stream and human resource data and Statistical Services Branch receive and validate revenue, specialised services, teaching and accreditation status data electronically (web-based forms) through MAC Online.

Statistical Services Branch provides Queensland Health's data submission to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
FRAC reporting is mandatory and is prescribed in Schedule 4 of the HHS Service Agreements.

Expenditure reported to FRAC should align to the annual expenditure data reported as part of the annual National Hospital Cost Data Collection (NHCDC).

Commonwealth Government Reporting Requirements:

AIHW: As a signatory to the National Health Information Agreement, Queensland Department of Health is required to provide hospital activity data to the AIHW according to agreed National Minimum Data Sets (NMDSs). To comply with these reporting obligations, data reported to the FRAC is used to meet the Local Hospital Networks/Public Hospital Establishments National Minimum Data Set (LHN/PHE NMDS).
Annually.
2019 AUDIT: The FRAC data elements listed below will undergo review once the Data Supply Requirements (DSRs) have been completed.
