INCOME
Free-standing day hospital facilities received $629m in income during 2008-09, a 38% increase from 2006-07 when $457m in income was received. The increase over the two year period was higher than the average annual increase in income over the five years to 2006-07, which was 12%. The large increase at the Australia level was predominantly due to the opening of 13 new establishments in Western Australia. Most income generated in Free-standing day hospitals was sourced from patient revenue (97%), as distinct from income derived from other sources such as investments and bequests.
In adjusted terms, income increased by 9.2% from 2006-07 ($440m) and the average annual increase in income was 13% over the five years from 2003-04 ($368m) to 2008-09 ($609m). This did not include 2007-08 because the Private Health Establishments Collection was not undertaken for the cycle. See Explanatory Note 23 for more information concerning the use of chain volume measures to adjust income and expenditure.
