- CO-ORDINATION OF CARE WITHIN
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AND WITH
OTHER SECTORS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
 1 Page led by Gawaine Powell Davies
As the population ages and the rate of chronic disease increases, more people are receiving
complex regimes of care, from a variety of health care providers. This care must be well
coordinated if people with complex needs are to receive care that is comprehensive and
continuous and if they are to take an active role in their care. The need to coordinate care is one
of the drivers for health service integration.

INTEGRATION, CO-ORDINATION AND
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES IN
PRIMARY CARE: A SYSTEMATIC
INVESTIGATION OF THE LITERATURE 1 Page led by David Currow
Australia’s population is ageing and there is an increasing burden of chronic disease putting
pressure on the health system. These challenges have raised the interest and awareness of
primary health care models of care, like the use of integrated, co-ordinated multidisciplinary team
approaches. This review looked at the existence and effectiveness of these models in primary
health care settings.
INTEGRATION, CO-ORDINATION AND
MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE IN AUSTRALIA:
GROWTH VIA OPTIMAL GOVERNANCE
ARRANGEMENTS 1 Page led by Claire Jackson
Australian governments, communities and health professionals are looking at new ways to deliver
high quality health care services, as traditional, fragmented models struggle to deliver appropriate,
accessible care in the current environment.
The Council of Australian Governments and Commonwealth mental health initiatives will require
interjurisdictional relationships that have not existed before. To sustain these reforms effective and
integrated governance will be key.
