AHHA provided the following submission to the Australian Government in advance of the 2021-22 Budget. 

This submission outlines a number of areas of reform to the healthcare system that are achievable with leadership by the Australian Government, working in cooperation with state and territory governments, Primary Health Networks and other groups. The way our healthcare system is organised needs to be adapted to more effectively deliver healthcare services to improve patient care and to achieve system efficiencies.

This submission provides a number of practical and necessary recommendations on how this can be achieved with a broad focus on outcomes, coordination of care and specific areas requiring national health policy leadership.
