Overview
Our 2022 Local Area Needs Assessment (LANA) identifies the most important health and service needs of our population.
These needs were identified based on:
- what our patients, community, health partners, and staff have told us
- review of population health status, health risk factors, and health service use.
Health care priorities
Our LANA identified 31 needs themes which were prioritised for future action.
Our top 5 health care needs were identified as:
- addiction and mental health services
- hospital and specialist services including access to elective surgery and emergency services
- ageing, care planning and end of life care
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health care
- community services.
