Corporate Services

AMSANT relies on specialist skills, best practices and new technology to enable us to operate at our peak, while supporting our staff to assist members in the delivery of improved health outcomes.

Our Corporate Services team is the nuts-and-bolts of AMSANT and has considerable financial and operational expertise that keeps us efficient, effective and responsive to the ever-changing fiscal and political landscape. The team also provides a wide range of support to our members to assist them in the administration of their health services.

Internally, Corporate Services is very busy with budgeting, monthly reports, accounts, audits, assets registers, human resources, recruitment, payroll, accreditation and IT help-desks; all essential elements of modern business.

AMSANT is growing fast in its scope of operations and sound financial management is essential to the retention of funding sources, and to our very survival.

Many members (such as Red Lily and Peppimenarti) are small operations that require regular assistance from AMSANT in a variety of areas. Recently, this has included monthly reports, advocacy for funding, IT advice, office space, teleconferencing facilities, transport; as well as expert advice about human resources, financial acquittals, payroll, budgeting and industrial relations.

This assistance is part of AMSANT’s spirit of support, and our reason for being, that’s available to all member services. AMSANT recognises the necessity of good financial and operational performance that, ultimately, is expressed in the improvement of health services to the Northern Territory’s 75,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
