The Department of Social Services (DSS) held webinars this week for aged care service providers and their IT vendors as it nears the roll-out of its DSS Data Exchange web portal for service activity reporting for the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP).

The DSS Data Exchange (DEX) will replace all existing service activity reports including Home and Community Care (HACC) minimum data sets for the CHSP from November 1 and promises to be a streamlined way for aged care service providers to upload mandatory data.
