Thin Markets Co-Design Workshop | St Arnaud

Murray and Western Victoria PHNs (Primary Health Network) are seeking your input to design sustainable primary healthcare services for the East Wimmera region particularly focusing on St Arnaud and has engaged Larter Consulting to facilitate co-design workshops to inform the service design and partnership approach.

The aim of the project is to design primary healthcare services that will improve access to general practitioner (GP), nursing and allied health professionals in local communities. The vision is for St Arnaud communities to be able to access the primary healthcare they need, at the right time and place for optimal health and wellbeing.

This project was initiated because it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract and retain health and medical professionals in rural communities across the region. We plan to address this issue through a regional partnership, enabling East Wimmera Health Services to support its communities and share resources, so they can better address local community needs, while filling gaps in access to primary care.
