The WA Department of Health is committed to improving the care of older adults and recognises the vital role that GPs play in supporting patients to stay well in the community.
The State Government is establishing three Older Adult Community Integrated Care Hubs.
These hubs will pilot a one-stop-shop model for local older adults with chronic and complex conditions, offering a range of dedicated older adult services and facilitating access to other services needed to help people remain well and avoid preventable hospitalisations.
The WA Department of Health wants to ensure the development of the hubs is guided by the insights and experiences of GPs who work directly with these patients. Your feedback will help shape how the hubs operate, ensuring they genuinely complement general practice, add value to your work and provide meaningful support for older adults and their families.
