Health equity from cradle to grave

Health needs and risks change throughout life, but whether we’re focused on newborns or nonagenarians one vital priority persists. 

It looks not just at population density, but also at cultures, languages, education, housing, incomes and other factors that influence everyone’s ability to receive the treatments and supports they need. 

Working closely with general practices, mental health services, pharmacies, aged care homes and hospitals, we build programs that improve health care at every stage of life – from birth to death.

At every age, in every community, everyone has a right to expect equitable access to health care. To help put this principle into practice, NWMPHN researches and maps health care needs across its catchment. It collates data, and listens to the advice of health care workers and consumers.
