Using innovative research and communications to shape Australia’s health reform agenda​

Integrated, multi-disciplinary GP led patient-centred medical homes represent the foundation of an evidence-based healthcare system. This is underpinned by increased funding rewarding quality, as well as industry and expertise to achieve the most cost-effective optimisation of health outcomes for patients and families, regardless of geography. This focuses on management of chronic and/or complex diseases, reduction in preventable hospital admissions and improved stewardship of resources, including in the aged care sector. Equally, it is important to recognise that general practice is critical to aged care services and mental health services — two significant and growing health areas.
