The ADHA have finally done it.
A whole year of radio silence at Board Level while the Agency spews misleading exaggerated spin at every turn!

It's not surprising the ADHA board is keeping quiet
From the ANAO report:
19. Cyber security risk oversight by the AHDA Board and its Privacy and Security Advisory Committee could also be strengthened. The ADHA Board received dedicated cyber security briefings on only four occasions between July 2016 and February 2019, and has not considered the updated 2019–2023 cyber security strategic plan (which was finalised by the ADHA executive on 14 November 2018). The role of the Privacy and Security Advisory Committee in cyber security was not clear.
2.8 The Department of Health undertook a review of ADHA governance and operations in December 2018.23 The report was provided to the ADHA Board in April 2019, and made 14 recommendations relating to organisational structure (including rationalisation of ADHA Board advisory committees); formalising its relationship with Health (including through a service level agreement); implementing a skills-matrix for future ADHA Board appointments; and articulating a clear vision, purpose and KPIs at the entity-level. The ADHA stated to the ANAO that these recommendations are being considered by the ADHA Board.
3.85 One of the ADHA Board’s advisory committees is the Privacy and Security Advisory Committee (PSAC). The PSAC Charter states that it will ‘monitor privacy and security issues in relation to digital health systems’, ‘provide advice and recommendations to the Board in relation to standards (including compliance with standards) relating to privacy and security’ and ‘provide advice to the Board about the privacy and security issues encountered by users of digital health systems’.
3.86 It was not clear that the PSAC provided advice or recommendations to the ADHA Board, despite meeting minutes recording that the PSAC noted regular briefings from ADHA on cyber security. As part of these meetings PSAC also noted the 2016–2019 Cyber Security Centre Strategic Plan on 23 March 2017, and reviewed the underpinning work plans supporting the strategy on 1 August 2018. Progress reporting against these KPI has not been provided back to PSAC. The ADHA updated the Cyber Security Centre Strategic Plan for 2019–2023 on 14 November 2018. The meeting minutes to April 2019 do not show that the updated Strategy was considered by the PSAC or the ADHA Board.
Great list - makes them sound surplus to requirements I reckon.
Will the updated Machinery Of Government chart show a change do you believe?
David.
The government has said it will cut the number of agencies and it seems unlikely the ADHA will not be merged, in my view.
COE REPORT by Tim Kelsey to Board 6 Dec 2018.
Words, words, words. Little substance, lots of 'claims' and plenty of self agrandisement.
It looks like a document prepared for attaching to his Curriculum Vitae. Pretty words for consumption by gullible, intimidated Board Directors prepared to accept the status quo a d unwilling or incapable of challenging anything put before them suggestive of political puppets in a Punch & Judy show.
Given the CEO receives around $550,000 the cents per word rate is very generous!
Tradie Scott Cam is being paid $345,000 for his 15 months 'marketing' contract ie. $23,000 a month.
Tim Kelsey receives more than a
double that $45,000 a month.
Morrison says that's the going rate to secure these really top notch expert people.
Our PM would know. He is a marketing person himself.
10:49 AM The rate is $1,550 per word (3,575 words)
Don't worry too much David. The MSIA President is on the Board.
The MSIA will come to the rescue and save the day.
