Collaborating in care
We acknowledge that collaborative working partnerships across the ear health system are key to ensuring positive change and encouraging interdisciplinary practice to build stronger healthier communities throughout Western Australia.
Rural Health West and Aboriginal Health Council of WA (AHCWA) administer the Ear Health Coordination Program in WA. Our teams work collaboratively with primary health care clinics and other stakeholders to identify and support activity needed to improve WA ear health.
WA Child Ear Health Strategy
The WA Child Ear Health Strategy has been developed to tackle ear disease amongst children, particularly in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Western Australia. The Strategy remains current however, is under review.
It provides a road map for better care through multi-agency service planning, strengthened community focused partnerships, alignment of funding, and better coordination.
