Rural Primary Health Services – Care Coordination Program

Care Coordination involves:

  • Care Coordinators working with you, your GP, and other health providers to assess your health and care needs.
  • Care Coordinators find and arrange services you need to stay health and independent.

Care Coordinators can help you to plan and manage your health and wellbeing, access services, and provide support to help you understand your condition.

We have a no wrong door policy, meaning we will assist you by either referring you in-house to Rural Health Tasmania Programs or to other external services that can assist you.

Chronic Conditions can include: Musculoskeletal, Cancer, Mental Health, Circulatory and Respiratory conditions

Under the Care Coordination program, you will have access to Registered Nurses and Mental Health Clinicians.

This service is supported by funding from Primary Health Tasmania through the Australian Government’s PHN Initiative.

What is IAR?

  1. Level 2 - Low Intensity

    Low Intensity

    Although brief, level 2 services include some direct contact with a mental health professional. You may also see therapists, coaches or social workers. There will be options to access these services via telehealth, face to face or over the phone. At this level, you should only need a few sessions or engagements before you start to feel more empowered to manage your mental health.

  2. Level 3 - Moderate Intensity

    Moderate Intensity

    This level involves more frequent contact with a professional to help with your mental distress. Access to these services will generally require a referral from your GP or other mental health professional. Your referral will include a mental health treatment plan that assists the mental health professional (psychologists, mental health social worker, etc.) to provide personalised support to you over a period of time that works best for you.
