The National Health Reform Agreement is the deal between the Commonwealth and states about who pays for what in healthcare. Without this determination, the money can't legally flow. It's essentially the annual invoice that authorises the federal government to transfer these specific amounts to each state and territory's health budgets.\n\n**Who made it:**\nDr Andrew Leigh, as Assistant Minister, made this under the Federal Financial Relations Act 2009."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2024-25-determination-2025","history":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2024-25-determination-2025/history","analysis":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2024-25-determination-2025/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2024-25-determination-2025/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2024-25-determination-2025/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2024-25-determination-2025/documents"}}
