- Refers to the June reporting period for the nKPI (see nKPI - introduction) and the financial year reporting period for the OSR (see OSR - introduction).
- Unlike in previous years, for 2019–20 and 2020–21, reporting to the collections was made voluntary in acknowledgement of the additional pressures on organisations because of COVID-19.
- Organisations that received funding only for maternal and child health (MCH) services. OSR data presented in this report exclude these organisations unless otherwise noted. See OSR - summary over time for selected data from these organisations, and Interpreting OSR data for more information.
Note: See also Technical notes and Impact of COVID-19 for information on interpreting changes over time.

All organisations receiving IAHP funding share a commitment to providing holistic, comprehensive and culturally appropriate health care. These organisations can be split into two main types—Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) and non-Community Controlled Health Organisations (non-ACCHOs). ACCHOs are initiated and operated by their local Aboriginal communities through locally elected Boards of Management. Non-ACCHOs are a mix of government-run organisations (such as local health districts) and non-government organisations (such as not-for-profit charitable health services). ACCHOs generally deliver a set of services deemed to be ‘comprehensive health care’ while non-ACCHOs may offer limited or a full range of services. As such, these types of organisations can have very different profiles (Table 2) and caution should be used when interpreting the OSR and nKPI data by organisation type presented in this report. For more information on interpreting data in this report, see Technical notes and Glossary.
