New accreditation requirements for private dental practices: navigating the transition
Starting 1 May 2024, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) implemented new accreditation requirements for private ...
Primary health care has been described as ‘the frontline of Australia’s health care system, encompassing a large range of providers and services across public, private and non-government sectors. Primary care is often the first contact a person has with the health system and can be delivered in a range of settings, by a range of providers. It may be provided by general practitioners (GPs) within general practice or in an aged care or community setting, by public or private service providers. Nursing care, midwifery, pharmacy, dentistry, Aboriginal health services, and allied health care are also examples of primary care services.
The Australian health care system overall faces a number of challenges in providing effective, timely, coordinated health care now and into the future. Some of these challenges are:
- an ageing population which is changing the nature of demand for health care services
- rising levels of risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity
- increasing prevalence of chronic disease and multiple chronic diseases (comorbidity)
- increasing patient expectations for high quality health care and involvement in their care
- disparity in access and outcomes for people in various population groups such as those living in areas of lower socioeconomic status (SES), people living in more remote areas, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians
- ensuring access to an appropriate mix of skilled workforce across all Australian regions
- an uncertain economic climate, which may influence choices of governments and individuals as to how much they spend on health
