The Australian Government has committed $116 million (GST exclusive) over four years from 2020-21 to 2023-24 to improve health outcomes for people living in regional, rural and remote locations by supporting the delivery of outreach health activities.
The objectives of the grant opportunity are to:
* Provide both public and private outreach health services to address prioritised community needs:
* Broaden the range and choice of health services available in regional, rural and remote locations; and
* Remove the financial disincentives that create barriers to service provision.
The Rural Health Outreach Fund (RHOF) will support outreach health activities to address health issues identified in regional, rural and remote locations, including improved coordination and combination of health activities. Within this broad spectrum, there is a need for specific emphasis on the following health priorities:
* Maternity and paediatric health;
* Eye health;
* Mental health; and
* Support for chronic disease management.
