Regional Health Minister Ryan Park: “With the support of NSW Health, the Collaborative Care programme is expanding to identify new innovative solutions to address the healthcare needs of the Leeton community.
“Our goal is to ensure every resident in Leeton can access the care they need and that health care providers have sustainable solutions to ongoing challenges.”
The project represents a partnership between health professionals, Murrumbidgee Local Health District, Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network, community members, and Leeton Shire Council.
It is designed to be forward-looking, promoting a holistic view of health that encompasses physical, mental, and social wellbeing for Leeton’s residents.
Healthcare providers in Leeton, encompassing doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals, are leveraging existing research and community consultations to work with local stakeholders.
This collaborative effort is expected to create sustainable healthcare solutions.
Leeton Shire Mayor George Weston said: “Our most recent community survey highlighted the importance of healthcare services to Leeton Shire residents and the Collaborative Care project provides a welcome opportunity to work together with key stakeholders, including the Local Health District and Primary Health Network, to consider any service or access gaps and how they can be closed.”
This announcement follows the NSW Government’s recent investment of A$1m ($636,180) for upgrading hospital and health facilities in Armidale and Moree, which is part of the broader Regional Health Minor Works Program.
