SearchOur PHN supports people with chronic disease through the Chronic Conditions Program.
We have recommissioned the Chronic Conditions Program until 30 June 2024. The program now focuses on making an impact in identified regions: Somerset, Southern Downs, Western Downs and Goondiwindi. These regions were selected based on their population of 'rising risk' - people with one or two chronic conditions, balanced with consideration of other services in the region. Focused risk factors/conditions include obesity, physical inactivity, respiratory disease, arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic pain.
The PHN-supported services are listed below. For other chronic conditions support services, please search the National Health Services Directory.
