Allied Health Engagement Strategy

Through extensive primary care consultation and local health intelligence, interrogation of local health data and health needs assessments, review of industry literature and reference to evidence-based research, the key challenges faced by the allied health sector in our region have been identified. These include adoption of digital health solutions, service availability and access, service integration and sustainability.

A part of the development of this Strategy document, the PHN contributed to the development of a National Allied Health in Primary Care Engagement Framework, a project driven by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care. Findings from our local consultation process in the development of this Engagement Strategy correlated strongly with the National Allied Health in Primary Care Engagement Framework consultation findings and have been summarised as part of this document.
