Darling Downs and West Moreton
About the Health Needs Assessment
The Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN Health Needs Assessment (HNA) identifies the health priorities and opportunities for our region.
Bringing together information from the community, local health services and workforce, the PHN has developed a clear
picture of how we can help improve the health of people living in our region.
This includes programs and services that can provide people with the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
Our current 10 community-driven priorities for the region have been identified through a rigorous process of research and consultation, focused around the seven national PHN priority areas: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, aged care, alcohol and other drugs, digital health, health workforce, mental health and population health.
