The establishment of the Lower Gulf Strategy, a joint tripartite partnership with the Western Queensland Primary Health Network, and Gidgee Healing, guides reform to deliver a primary health care system which better meets the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) peoples in the Lower Gulf. It will integrate the health system at every level, will allow ATSI people to participate in decision making affecting their health, and ensure health services are structured around the needs of the individual, family and community. There is a strong focus on preventive health care and encouraging healthy lifestyles. It means people in communities taking responsibility for their own health, within a supportive framework which they will help construct. All positions within the North West Hospital and Health Service are expected to work in partnership with Gidgee Healing to ensure the best outcomes for the community.
