Updates to Payments

The Edit Payment Details form in CIMS has been updated to allow documents to be attached to each payment. Once a payment has been saved, an Attachments section will be displayed below the main payments data and the 'Select and Upload' button can be used to add one or more documents to the payment.

The Payments list will show a paperclip icon for payments that have documents attached and each of these documents can be downloaded by clicking on the link(s) that appear in the Edit Payment Details form. Documents can be still be accessed after a payment has been saved as final, but the payment will need to be re-opened to update or add documents.

All SHS Providers and DCJ District Staff

A new report titled 'SHS Client Target KPI Report' has been added to CIMS and is available to all SHS Providers and DCJ District staff. The report reflects the changes to contracted SHS client targets which were put in place at the start of this contract period and is intended to replace the existing 'Case Level of Effort' report for FY21/22 and future periods.
