Advisory Forum

- provide endorsement for services under the RHOF informed by the RHOF Service Delivery Standards (final decisions sit with the Australian Government Department of Health)
- provide endorsement and/or non-endorsement used by the TAZREACH team to inform final approval for services under the MOICDP, HEBHBL and VOS informed by the IAHP Service Delivery Standards.
