2 I ANNUAL REPORT 2019 THE COLLEGE


A Message from the President

Dr Lance Lawler

At last year’s ASM in Canberra, Nobel Laureate Prof Brian Schmidt, spoke eloquently about the future and how we should best deal with our inability to predict it well. With another year now under our belts, we can reflect on the work we have done to create the future that we wish to see. The year saw many successes that were as much a result of our efforts over the last few years to shift the College from its more inward focus as they were of the dedicated staff and volunteers creating the right conditions to achieve this success. In this year alone, this intensified effort included over 20 submissions and a record number of meetings with Ministers and Shadow Ministers, in both Australia and New Zealand. This engagement has also resulted in governments and agencies regularly consulting with the College for its expertise, insight and input on both policy-related and other matters. RANZCR is now widely recognised as the peak body for clinical radiology and radiation oncology in Australia and New Zealand, and a respected voice elsewhere.

Though our list of achievements for the year is long, we must never forget that complacency is the enemy and continuously reassess and refocus our efforts when appropriate. The College continues to devote resources to promote the role of our two specialties, lobbying government to improve access and affordability in healthcare, and addressing the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on our professions. RANZCR recently co-hosted the first ever Radiation Oncology Horizon Summit in New Zealand with Health Minister, the Hon Dr David Clark. The event emphasised the current underutilisation of this lifesaving treatment and has kickstarted the process of developing new Government policies. The College has also provided a comprehensive response to New Zealand’s Health and Disability Review for both clinical radiology and radiation oncology. Among our other advocacy achievements in Australia were increased funding in 2018–19 for specialist training program (STP) posts, additional MRI licences, and new Medicare items covering 3D breast tomosynthesis and a range of MRI scans, including certain obstetric, cardiac and liver cases, and the diagnosis of prostate cancer. You can read more about our achievements on page six of this annual report. The need for advocacy is unending, and despite the positives that came out of the recent Australian Federal Election the work continues. New Zealand will be holding their next federal election in 2020 and we will continue to look for opportunities to improve patient outcomes in our specialities. In these initiatives and many others, the College is playing a long form of the advocacy game, working towards the goal of becoming a 'trusted adviser.'

The principles have been downloaded from our website more than 1,500 times, making it our most viewed document in 2019. This work continues to proceed whilst at the same time, the College continues to move towards achieving the goals of our 2021 strategy. I am encouraged in the knowledge that we are taking the right steps to tackle the coming challenges. Striving to improve helps the College focus on the future of our profession, and surely, we need to remain focused if we want to have a future. As I have said in the past, the market for our professional services is among the most competitive in healthcare, and our funding streams and the health policies that affect us are under constant review. Whether in terms of technological innovation or competing service models, no medical specialist has as much at stake as the radiologists and radiation oncologists. The Board and the College management team know these hard realities well and we will continue to keep this in mind as we focus on creating another successful year.

Beyond the advocacy efforts, our work in AI has been widely recognised. RANZCR was the first professional healthcare body in the world to develop Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medicine.

Key achievements of the year Record number of meetings (39) with Ministers and Shadow Ministers in both Australia and New Zealand.

Played a significant role in securing Australian Government commitment to additional funding for breast MRI as part of the treatment of breast cancer.

The Australian Government announced indexation of ultrasound and X-ray services, following advocacy by RANZCR and Australian Diagnostic Imaging Association (ADIA).

RANZCR was the first professional healthcare body in the world to develop Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medicine. The principles have been downloaded from our website more than 1,500 times, making it our most viewed document ever.

Responded to several consultations on AI including CSIRO’s Ethical Framework Discussion Paper, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) consultation on the Regulation of Software as a Medical Device, the Australian Human Rights Commission consultation on AI and the NZ Therapeutic Products Bill.

The Australian Government committed $375 million over four years, to expand access to Medicare-eligible MRI machines. They also committed to working with RANZCR to further expand access to this important life-saving technology, including evaluation of the additional 53 MRI licences.

This year RANZCR developed an Australian federal election survey to promote our advocacy priorities. The Coalition, Labor, Australian Greens and Central Alliance all completed the survey. As a result, RANZCR received commitments from all parties to: o Develop a comprehensive strategy to prepare for the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare o Support access to particle therapy, including the creation of a nationally coordinated plan for particle therapy, and o Support the MBS Review Taskforce recommendation to fund detailed modelling and a pilot of the proposed changes to the MBS Radiation Oncology Schedule.

Treasurer’s Report surpluses of $7,713,871 which while small compared to the larger Royal Colleges, act as a financial buffer, and have provided investment and capital improvement gains that helped us to minimise fee increases.

Dr Peter Prattan Financial Performance in 2018-2019 The Financial Statements for the year ending 30 June 2019, along with the auditor’s report are presented in this document. Detailed versions can be found on the College website www.ranzcr.com. The College’s current financial objective is to achieve a breakeven result, excluding extraordinary projects of special significance. Funding of these projects has been set aside from the cash reserves built up over the last several years (referred to as ‘Accumulated funds’ in the accounts). Investment in our training programs continued through a comprehensive reform of Training and Assessment, which followed the earlier review findings of the ACER/Prideaux report (2014). This work and investment is nearing completion and is moving to full implementation phase, which is scheduled for 2021 academic year. The financial impact of the reform in the current financial year is $654,621 which is in line with the budget for the reform agenda. The net income after the Training and Assessment Reform project results in a net surplus of $440,633 for 20182019. A significant contribution to the financial year’s surplus is attributed to the performance in the College’s investments. The College has retained

The implementation of Training and Assessment Reform will remain an important area of College investment. Concurrently the College is working on IT platforms that will support the implementation of training and CPD reforms. IT costs will continue to be a major expense for the College as the rapidly changing environment dictates, we need to maintain the security, reliability and improve efficiency of the College’s programs. The timely and rigorous attention given to our IT platforms means that we are getting best value for member dollars.

Advocacy

Donations and Other Support The College is grateful for the support it received from its Fellows, members, corporate supporters and associated organisations throughout the year: detailed acknowledgement is available on page 10 of this report. The College is also very grateful to Fellows and members who have donated to the Education and Research Fund annual appeal. Without the generous pro bono assistance by so many members and Fellows, the cost of maintaining and growing the scope and the excellence of the College would require serious fee increases. We thank the Fellows who have contributed their time for the voluntary work and keep our costs contained by supporting training, examinations and a host of other activities.

The focus on Advocacy remained high during the election year with increased level of activities. The social and financial outcomes are satisfying for both our members and patients alike. However, ongoing interaction with policy and stakeholders to ensure timely and quality implementation of these changes will be crucial to bring these new policies to fruition. A great intangible aspect of our positive approach to Advocacy has been further projected mitigation of perceived risk of RANZCR’s standing and image in medical practice, public and government perception.

Program Funding The Specialist Training Program continues to be funded by grants from the Australian Department of Health. Most of the project is covering the College’s overhead costs to produce the outcomes required. The funding will continue until the end of the current contract in December 2021.

Membership Subscriptions The Board determined that for 2019 2020 annual subscription should be set at $2,795 for Fellows and Educational Affiliates. The fee will assist in covering our ongoing expenses and will contribute to the long-term financial viability of the College. TREASURER'S REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 2019 I 11

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists Report on the audit of the financial report

Opinion We have audited the financial report of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (the “Registered Entity”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in funds and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the Responsible Entities’ declaration. In our opinion, the financial report of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists has been prepared in accordance with Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012, including: 1.

giving a true and fair view of the Registered Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year period then ended; and

2.

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulation 2013.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Registered Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

12 I ANNUAL REPORT 2019 AUDITOR'S LETTER

www.grantthornton.com.au


Responsibilities of the Responsible Entities for the financial report The Responsible Entities of the Registered Entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act, and for such internal control as the Responsible Entities determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Responsible Entities are responsible for assessing the Registered Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Responsible Entities either intend to liquidate the Registered Entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Registered Entity’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: •

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Registered Entity’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Responsible Entities.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the Responsible Entities use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Registered Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Registered Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

AUDITOR'S LETTER ANNUAL REPORT 2019 I 13


Auditor’s Letter cont.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
