The CQ Health Collaborative was established in September 2005 as a partnership between private, public and non-government sectors that aims to improve the availability, quality and access to health services for the people of Central Queensland.
Collaborative Members include: Mercy Health and Aged Care Central Queensland; Central Queensland Health Service District (Queensland Health); Hillcrest Rockhampton Private Hospital; Capricornia Division of General Practice; Bidgerdii Community Health Service and Central Queensland University.
Current priorities include:
- Assisting the Collaborative with the planning and development of health services;
- Developing a recruitment model to fill allied health professional positions across both public and private sectors;
- Coordinating a community wide response to Sexual Assault;
- Coordinating a midwifery scholarships scheme for the Central Queensland Region;
- To facilitate and support the expediting of current renal initiatives, and to promote renal awareness and prevention to the Central Queensland community;
- To facilitate the setup of the One Stop Shop, to provide the Central Queensland community a ‘one stop’ location to access information regarding the health services available within the Rockhampton Region and how to access them.
- Establishing a Centre for Health Care Innovation and Research in partnership with the University of Queensland and Central Queensland University; and
- Seeking sponsorship from private organisations and from the public sector to enable the Collaborative to achieve its goals for the Central Queensland community and health professionals
