AHHA is Australia’s national peak body for public hospitals and healthcare providers. Our membership includes state and territory health departments, Local Hospital Networks and hospitals, community health services, Primary Health Networks and primary healthcare providers, aged care providers, universities, individual health professionals and academics. As such, we are uniquely placed to be an independent, national voice for universal high‐quality healthcare to benefit the whole community. On 19 December 2019, AHHA made a pre‐budget submission before the Budget was deferred to October. AHHA would like that submission to continue to be recognised as part of the 2020‐21 Pre‐ Budget submission process, and provides the following additional proposals to also be considered:
- Meeting the needs of Young People in Residential Aged Care – a Systems Wrangler training
and support program - Coordinated support to deliver Internet‐Parent Child Interaction Therapy (to replace pages
17‐18 of the original submission).
The original pre‐budget submission is also attached.
