Improving health outcomes
NORTHERN Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) has officially launched its new strategic plan 2025-2028 – a bold and future-focused roadmap to improve health outcomes across one of Australia’s most diverse and expansive regions.
Unveiled during a series of events across Cairns, Townsville and Mackay, the new plan coincides with a national milestone – 10 years since the establishment of Primary Health Networks (PHNs) in Australia.
NQPHN board chairman Jeff Stewart-Harris said the 10-year milestone was the perfect opportunity to reflect on the organisation’s progress and unveil a plan that charted an ambitious course for the future.
“This plan is not just a document – it reflects our purpose,” said Mr Stewart-Harris. “We connect, fund and support primary healthcare so all northern Queenslanders can access the care and information they need to live healthier lives.
“Our communities – whether in regional centres or the most remote areas of Cape York and the Torres Strait, deserve strategies tailored to their unique needs. This plan ensures we keep those needs front and centre.
“It reaffirms our commitment to primary health care across all of northern Queensland.” he said.
