How Do I Become Involved?

The Connecting Healthcare In Communities (CHIC) Initiative has established 15 local collaborations known as Partnership Councils, involving service providers from the primary health care sector across Queensland.  The Partnership Councils aim to enhance service coordination, integration and innovation in health service delivery.  Partnership Councils throughout the state jointly deliver locally developed primary health care initiatives within the areas of chronic and complex care, integrated health promotion and illness prevention, early childhood health (including ante and post natal care), community mental health and drug and alcohol services.
