8 I ANNUAL REPORT 2017 YEAR AT A GLANCE

Overview
The 2017 fiscal year concluded a challenging twelve months
for the College, with mixed outcomes in stakeholder relations,
combined with successful initiatives to enhance educational
outcomes, communications and College governance.
The following summarises the major activities and achievements
for the College in 2016–17.
Government and
Stakeholder Engagement
Working as an advocate
for all RANZCR members
Having secured a pre-election
commitment on radiology following a
long-running campaign by the College
and the Australian Diagnostic Imaging
Association (ADIA), it was disappointing
to see the Government fail to deliver on
its commitments in the last financial year.
Instead, the Government announced a
‘phased reintroduction of indexation’
in the Federal Budget for ‘certain
diagnostic imaging items’ from 1 July
2020.1 However, indexation will apply to
less than 60 MBS items related to clinical
radiology The Budget announcement
to resume indexation heralded a step
forward in patient rebates for clinical
radiology services, the first since 1998,
but partially reversed an unequivocal
pre-election commitment by the Turnbull
Government to unfreeze Medicare
rebates for MRI, X-ray, CT and ultrasound
concurrent alongside the end to the
freeze on GP rebates, set to occur in 2017
and 2018.
In addition, the 2017–18 Federal Budget
failed to commence implementation, as
had been expected, of the Government’s
election promise to patients to adopt
College recommendations for a new
framework to underpin safe and
appropriate medical imaging through
the adoption of minimum standards
for clinical radiologist supervision. The
College is continuing its engagement on
the proposed Quality Framework with
the Health Minister and ministerial staff,
federal Liberal and Labor MPs, and senior
staff of the Department of Health.
The College also engaged with The College signed a memorandum

with Agency staff. The submission argued
in support of inclusion of diagnostic
imaging reports and, importantly, access
to images in the My Health Record
system.
In New Zealand, the College issued
an election priorities document to all
political parties ahead of a general
election scheduled for late September
2017. The document outlined key policies
and recommendations for diagnostic
imaging and radiation oncology in New
Zealand’s health sector.
Throughout the year, the College
continued to make representations to Mr Mark Nevin, Ms Kate Scott-Murphy,
the Medical Council of New Zealand Mr Milton Dick (Member for Oxley),
to ensure that all medical practitioners and Ms Sonja Cronjé

are fully registered. The College

Education
and Training
Working to safeguard Arising from the recommendations of
a major review (commenced in 2014)
standards and the future by Professor David Prideaux and the
of our profession Australian Council for Educational
Research (ACER) of examination and
assessment processes for clinical
radiology and radiation oncology
training, the College continued its
transition to a programmatic assessment
framework. Both disciplines have
identified at least seven program stream
or areas in which trainees are to be
assessed.
To date, specific program development
has focused on the Competencies
for Early Training Program in clinical
radiology and the Oncology Sciences
Program, which covers the foundational
scientific knowledge underpinning
radiation oncology practice. As program
development proceeds, the curricula
in both Faculties will be reviewed in
their entirety to ensure all content is up
to date, fit for purpose and with well-
defined learning outcomes.
AMC Vernon C. Marshall In May, the VIVA examinations for clinical
National Testing Centre radiology were held for the first time in
the Australian Medical Council’s Vernon
C. Marshall National Testing Centre (NTC)
in Melbourne. The NTC is a purpose-built
clinical examination facility with state-of-
the-art features, including the ability to
record examination sessions and monitor
the performance of individual exam
components in real time. The move to
the NTC was a significant step towards
the preparation and electronic delivery of
the examinations in the future.
An evidence-based radiation oncology
course run by the European Society for
Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO)
was held for the first time in Australia
in November 2016. The well-attended
clinical refresher course in Sydney was
hosted by the ESTRO School and the
College’s Faculty of Radiation Oncology
(FRO).

time this educational offering has been
held outside of North America and the
first successful international partnership

A working group on mentoring has
been set up within FRO to develop a
mentorship program to provide support
to combat stress and burnout amongst Ms Sonja Cronjé, Dr Anne Aly
radiation oncology trainees and also (Member for Cowan), Ms Kate
mentoring support for Fellows. The Scott-Murphy and Mr Mark Nevin
initiative followed evidence from a 2016

Working to promote Following a relaunch in 2015, the website
promoting the FRO’s Targeting Cancer
our brand and improve campaign (www.targetingcancer.com.
awareness au), won the Best in Class award in the
Interactive Media Awards (healthcare
category). Targeting Cancer aims to
increase awareness among consumers
and their families of radiation therapy
as an effective, safe and sophisticated
treatment for cancer.
The campaign’s online and media
presence continued to grow throughout
the year, with website visits exceeding
50,000 sessions by almost 40,000 users.
These statistics indicate a better than 150
percent rise in both sessions and users,
compared with the previous 12 months.
Approximately 30 individual media
reports were generated by the campaign.
A promotional video ‘Prostate Cancer
Treatment – It’s a Big Decision’ and an
accompanying flyer were produced
and distributed to 1,360 waiting areas
throughout the Tonic Health Media GP
network.
The redesigned InsideRadiology website
(www.insideradiology.com.au) which
launched in October 2016, won the
Best in Class award in the Interactive
Media Awards (medical category). The
website is an Australasian resource on
clinical radiology tests, procedures,
and interventions, providing up-to-date
information to health consumers and
health professionals and improving
doctor-patient communication. A
promotional video for InsideRadiology
has been developed and will be available
soon for members to use in their
practices and hospitals.
12 I ANNUAL REPORT 2017 THE COLLEGE UP FRONT
The website averages 150,000 sessions a
month, with a month-on-month increase
of 8 per cent for the radiology landing
pages. In July, top five visibility of
targeted keywords increased to 36 per
cent, the highest representation since the
website’s inception. This was supported
by increased rankings of the keywords
‘what is radiology’ and ‘interventional
radiologist’. Each year InsideRadiology
reaches an average of 1.9M (sessions).
A refreshed RANZCR website went live in
May. The website had been redeveloped
in response to member feedback
and findings from the 2016 member
survey. The website redevelopment was
part of the College’s ongoing digital
transformation strategy.
Participating as a member of Cancer
Australia’s expert group, the College was
a key contributor to the national agency’s
landmark statement, Influencing best
practice in breast cancer, on identifying
appropriate and inappropriate practices
in breast cancer, released in October
(thestatement.canceraustralia.gov.au).
The Choosing Wisely® global initiative
was launched in New Zealand

14 I ANNUAL REPORT 2017 SPONSOR AND MEMBER SUPPORT

Treasurer’s
Report
Dr Lance Lawler,
Treasurer
Financial Performance in 2016-
2017
The Financial Statements for the year
ending 30 June 2017, including the
auditor’s report are presented on pages
16-19. Detailed versions of the Financial
Statements are available from the
College website at www.ranzcr.com.
The College's current financial strategy
is to achieve at least a break even 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 ‘retained surpluses’
in the accounts).
In line with this, it is satisfying to
report that the 2016-17 financial result
is a surplus of $109,417 excluding
extraordinary expenses.
As signalled in 2016, we needed to make
a significant investment in our clinical
radiology and radiation oncology training
programs 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 ongoing and will
span several years, the financial impact
in the current financial year is $644,415,
which is in line with the budget for the
reform agenda. Accounting for this
extraordinary project leaves us with a
net loss for 2016-17 of ($534,998). The
College’s retained surpluses of $6,891,853
can comfortably accommodate this
investment.
The Training and Assessment Reform
will remain an important area of College
investment. In the next two years, there
is a large amount of work and cost
involving the redesign of our film based
vivas to PACS platforms, standardising
the candidates experience and generally
building a robust and transparent
examination and training system. All of
this will need to be underpinned by a
reliable and user friendly information
technology.
Looking ahead, we can see that there
may be a number of significant projects
that the College will have to invest
in if we are to achieve our strategic
ambitions to be the recognised experts
in medical imaging, and to be the 'go
to' organisation for the regulators,
government and other healthcare policy
makers and funders, as well as our clinical
colleagues and patients. These may
include investments in clinical guidelines
and decision support tools, advocacy
skills and expertise, and building strong
networks in the Australia and New
Zealand environments. In addition,
our IT platforms need to be updated
and protected. Not having access to
unlimited funds, it is important that we
are able to prioritise these projects, and
manage them according to our annual
income and the reasonable use of
accumulated reserves. More information
for College members about these
projects will be made available once our
current strategic review is completed.
Project Funding
The Specialist Training Program
continues to be funded by grants from
the Australian Department of Health.
The majority of the project is covering
the overhead costs and were budgeted
to cover the cost of producing the
outcomes required but also contributed
to College overheads. The funding
will continue in the future with the new
contract now signed.
Membership Subscriptions
The Board determined that for 2017-
2018 annual subscription should be set
at $2,345.45 for Fellows and Educational
Affiliates.
Donations and Other Support
The College is grateful for the support
it received from its fellows, members,
corporate members and associated
organisations throughout the year:
detailed acknowledgement is available
on page 14 of this report.
The College is also very grateful to
Fellows and members who have donated
to the annual appeal for the Education
and Research Fund.

Report of the Independent Auditor on Summary Financial Statements

Opinion

The summary financial statements, which comprise the statement of financial position as at
30 June 2017, the statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the
year then ended, are derived from the audited financial report of The Royal Australian and
New Zealand College of Radiologists for the year ended 30 June 2017.

In our opinion, the summary financial statements derived from the audited financial report of
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists for the year ended 30 June
2017 are consistent, in all material respects, with that audited report, in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards.

Summary Financial Statements

The summary financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by Australian
Accounting Standards. Reading the summary financial statements, therefore, is not a
substitute for reading the audited financial report of The Royal Australian and New Zealand
College of Radiologists.

The Audited Financial Report and Our Report Theron

We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on that financial report in our report dated 31
August 2017.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of a summary of the audited
financial report in accordance with the criteria as set out in the Annual Report.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the summary financial statements are
