About IBPS attestation

We’re pleased that Victorian maternity health services are committed to the objectives of the VMIA Incentivising Better Patient Safety (IBPS) program and have been working hard to meet the eligibility requirements. We thank you for your support.

The attestation period

The IBPS attestation period occurs between 1 September and 30 September each year.

This attestation period follows the IBPS training year, which occurs between 1 September and 31 August. Eligible health services have four weeks to submit their attestation form. Attestation forms will become available to all participating health services at the start of attestation.

Program follow up

We’ll be having conversations with some successful health services following attestation, just to make sure the IBPS program has been properly implemented and is delivering value for the Victorian community.
