Common use of Integrity through interdependence Clause in Contracts

Integrity through interdependence. In exercising our different and complementary functions, the National Board and AHPRA will strive for mutual respect and to promote the integrity of the National Scheme. We are aware we have interdependent and complementary functions. The National Board and AHPRA will work to manage any tensions that arise through our consultation processes and the Accountability Framework. We will each take responsibility for clearly communicating our positions to each other. We are each open to being challenged by the other, and we will each create opportunities for dialogue and debate around our respective approach, results and impact. While the National Board and AHPRA are each independent entities, we recognise that neither can meaningfully exist outside of the context of the relationship defined by the National Law. We agree to respect the other’s functions as set out in the National Law. For example, AHPRA acknowledges its obligation to consult the National Board when developing procedures for the operation of the National Board, and will endeavour to incorporate the National Board’s feedback into those procedures. The National Board respects that AHPRA must endeavour to establish common procedures that apply to all National Boards and undertakes to comply with those procedures once finalised. The National Board and AHPRA also have complementary duties in relation to financial management. AHPRA is accountable for the management of the Agency Fund and for ensuring that all expenditure from the National Board’s account is consistent with the National Law, in accordance with the Board’s annual budget (or with the approval of the National Board if a change to the agreed budget), and as far as possible represents reasonable value for money. Accountability for expenditure rests with the AHPRA financial delegate who approves that expenditure, including payments to enable the National Board to exercise its functions. The National Board respects this role and undertakes to support AHPRA in fulfilling this role and its obligations under the National Law generally.
