Overview

The Primary Health Care Quality and Coordination program is an Australian Government initiative administered by the department, under funding Outcome 1, Program 1.6 Primary Health Care Quality and Coordination.

The Smithton Health Hub will be a modern, purpose-built facility, centrally located in Smithton, designed to meet the growing healthcare demands of the Circular Head region.
