AHHA has been the national voice for public health care for more than 70 years, maintaining its vision for an effective, innovative, and sustainable health system where all Australians have equitable access to health care of the highest standard when and where they need it.
AHHA is Australia’s national peak body for public hospitals and healthcare providers. Our membership includes state and territory health departments, Local Hospital Networks (LHNs) and public hospitals, community health services, Primary Health Networks (PHNs) 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.
In 2019, AHHA established the Australian Centre for Value-Based Health Care, recognising that a person’s experience of health and healthcare is supported and enabled by a diverse range of entities, public and private, government and non-government. The Centre brings these stakeholders together around a common goal of improving the health outcomes that matter to people and communities for the resources to achieve those outcomes, with consideration of their full care pathway.
