The Search for Primary Care: Please Come Home all is Forgiven

Abstract

The Department of Health and Community Services (H&CS) was established in October 1992 following the amalgamation of the Departments of Health, Community Services and the Office of Older Persons. The Primary Care Division was created in June 1993 and is an amalgamation of a number of front line health and welfare services from the Community Services and Health portfolios. However, a number of other Divisions have primary care functions.
