Review of after-hours service models

Review of after-hours service models

5 April 2016

The Australian Government Department of Health’s 2014 Review of After-hours Primary Health Care found that after-hours primary health care delivery in Australia is functioning sub optimally.

This Issues Brief evaluates the current delivery models of after-hours primary health care nationally and internationally. The document further outlines diverse approaches to service delivery, highlighting that this variability can be attributed to factors such as funding sources, workforce availability, consumer awareness, distance and remoteness, population structure, and local economies.

Acknowledgement of Country

AHHA acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We acknowledge the significance of our Australian indigenous heritage; and that our indigenous peoples never ceded their lands or their culture. We reflect on the remarkable understanding that is generously shared by indigenous peoples; particularly framing health and wellbeing in a deeply holistic way that both encompasses people and place.
