Australian Government Preventative Health Taskforce: Towards a National Primary Health Care Strategy

Recommendation on the Preventative Health Taskforce: Towards a National Primary Health Care Strategy

Australia’s first National Primary Health Care Strategy was tabled for discussion in early 2009. In response to this, the Institute recommended that serious consideration should be given to establishing a national health care innovation initiative.

Such a centre would provide the expertise and infrastructure necessary to deliver timely and reliable evidence to guide health care policy development and support its appropriate implementation. Submitted February 2009.
