This AIHW Annual Report 2014–15 reviews AIHW activities and highlights significant achievements in the 2014–15 financial year. It enables the Australian Parliament, the Australian Government and the people of Australia to assess the efficiency, effectiveness and economy with which the AIHW provides Australians with quality, nationally-consistent health and welfare information. Our activities are guided by legislative and government requirements, as well as our work plan and contractual obligations. Our performance in the 2014–15 year is described with reference to these requirements and plans, in particular, the requirements of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.
