Northern Queensland Primary Health Network’s (NQPHN’s) Population Health Priorities area supports older Australians to lead healthier, more productive, and connected lives through a population health approach.

NQPHN has commenced key activities to improve outcomes and access to aged and palliative care services within our region.

• older persons’ early intervention and chronic disease framework
• Greater Choice for At home Palliative Care
• Clinical HealthPathways to support aged care dementia.
