Primary Health Networks Program Aged care funding Grant Opportunity

Overview

This grant opportunity will provide funding to PHNs to undertake and commission activities which contribute to senior Australians living in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) having greater access to general practitioners (GPs) and other primary health care providers through ensuring there are appropriate telehealth facilities in RACFs, increasing the adoption of digital health technologies (e.g. My Health Record) in RACFs, establishing prevention and early intervention activities, and improving the coordination of care at the aged care and primary health care interface. These activities will enhance the capabilities of the primary health sector to reduce avoidable hospitalisations among older Australians living both at home and in residential aged care settings. Activities in this grant opportunity will also contribute to a reduction in early entry into residential care.    To view the grant opportunity documents, please select the red "GO Documents" button on the left hand side.
