What does inclusive healthcare actually look like, day to day?

For people with intellectual disability, it can be the difference between a stressful appointment and one where they feel heard, understood and safe. And so much of that comes down to the primary care teams they see — GPs, nurses, allied health professionals and pharmacists.

The Healthy Together eLearning modules offer short, CPD-accredited training to help you make every interaction more accessible.

Really strong turnout for last night’s mental health forum hosted by Senator Corinne Mulholland at the Sunshine Coast Medicare Mental Health Centre.

Great to have local clinicians, providers and community leaders in the room talking openly and practically about the local primary mental health system, how services work together and how we can make it easier for people to find the right support.

Lots of interest in Medicare Mental Health and how the phone service, centres and new Check In program can help both individuals and referrers navigate support more easily.

Thanks to everyone who came along, and to Wellways and Clarity Health Care for hosting us in such a welcoming space.

If you or someone you know is looking for support, call 1800 595 212 or learn more here: https://c2coast.org.au/medicare-mental-health

Flood recovery is not the same for everyone. For some Bundaberg residents, disrupted housing, transport challenges or competing priorities can make it harder to access healthcare.

For two weeks, a Bundaberg Mobile Health Service is helping by bringing a GP and nurse directly into community locations to support people experiencing homelessness — providing health checks, wound care, medication support and referrals to ongoing services.

By removing practical barriers and supporting earlier access to care, the clinical outreach team is helping residents stay well as recovery continues.

Community organisations supporting flood-affected residents can request an outreach visit by emailing disasters@c2coast.org.au

Learn more at https://c2coast.org.au/mobile-health-service

This mobile health response is led by Country to Coast Queensland and made possible through funding by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing through the PHN program. It is being delivered in partnership with Queensland Housing and Public Works (including the HOME outreach team), Wide Bay Hospital & Health Service, Wide Bay Zero, 1300MEDICS, Bundaberg Medicare Urgent Care Clinic (ForHealth), and other local community organisations supporting people experiencing homelessness.

The Bundaberg Mobile Health Service will be in operation until Friday 27 March 2026 (inclusive).

16/03/2026

Every person has a story shaped by their values, experiences and the people who matter most.

Advance Care Planning Week is a chance for our community to pause and reflect on what matters most for our future care — and to start conversations that help ensure our wishes are known and respected.

“Behind every person is a story shaped by family, community and the values that matter most. In primary care, we have a powerful role in helping people share their wishes early, so their care truly reflects who they are. When we support conversations, we honour each person’s story and strengthen the connection between individuals, their loved ones and the health professionals who walk alongside them.”
— Julie Dymock, Director Healthy Ageing and End of Life Care, Country to Coast Queensland.

Advance care planning helps people record their values, beliefs and healthcare preferences in case they become unable to speak for themselves — helping ensure their care reflects their story and their choices.
