PART C: OUTCOMES The Options Paper presented results for modelling the RREF in three steps as set out in Chart 3 below. A number of issues were raised in the Round 2 consultations and this section reports on those discussion and presents revised outcomes for Step 5,6 and 7, incorporating the preferred options identified in Steps 1-4 and reference is made to marked differences between these revised outcomes and the initial outcomes where relevant.

Part C: Outcomes In the initial modelling, all data sets were compiled at LGA level before being aggregated to the regional level, and LGA level data were retained in all the revised modelling. The size of these data sets and the complexity of modelling is again emphasised: • there are 78 LGAs in Victoria; • there are 20 age groups in each LGA; • each with a different age-specific rate of handicap; • each LGA is scored for five variables; • projections are then made for each LGA to take account of total population growth and changes in age structure, and consequent changes in handicap over the period 2002- 2006; • the current RREF and three further base population options are modelled, with modifications made to two of the base population options in revised modelling; • initial options were modelled with six variables and with only four variables, and • the effects of giving double weighting to selected variables are also modelled for the initial and revised options. All modelling has been carried out independently by the two members of the Review Team with statistical and actuarial skills and then cross-checked. Small differences will however remain due to rounding and other mathematical aspects of data processing The revised results presented in the next steps should not be taken as final. Even when a decision is made on the RREF that is to be used in future, new data may become available and further refinements made before any revised RREF is implemented. <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong> July 2001 65
