Population health planning in rural Tasmania. A place based, collaborative process exploring sustainable solutions to primary care.

Claire Prior, Martina Wyss · 2024 · International Journal of Integrated Care

Summary. Rural Tasmania faces poor health outcomes due to limited healthcare access, socioeconomic challenges, and environmental factors. Primary Health Tasmania led a collaborative population health planning process in the Huon Valley, combining desktop analysis, provider workshops, and community consultations to identify gaps and priorities. Local action groups co-designed sustainable solutions including alternative primary care models and provider training programs. This place-based, community-driven approach proved replicable across multiple Tasmanian regions.
