Improving healthcare through integration

The infrastructure of Australia’s health care system is overloaded due to avoidable hospital admissions, increased chronic disease and demand for aged care.

“ Australia needs a health care system that keeps people well, not just one that looks after them when they are sick. The Australian Government is committed to building a stronger primary health care system that is more efficient, lowers rates of avoidable hospital admissions, reduces health inequalities and improves health outcomes.”
