Sharing Health Care Initiative
Feedback
The Sharing Health Care Initiative focuses on people over 50 years (or over 35 for those of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent) who have one or more of the following chronic or complex conditions:
- cardiovascular disease
- diabetes
- arthritis
- osteoporosis
- respiratory disorders
- depression, when this occurs with another condition.
The projects undertaken are designed to improve the quality of life for people with chronic diseases, particularly those with more than one condition. They are also designed to improve their use of the health care system and programs available to them.
Projects are varied and are conducted in urban areas, rural communities and also in Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander communities. The results of the projects are being evaluated and will be communicated to a wide range of health professionals so treatment for these conditions can be improved throughout the community.
