N2  - The Far West Area Health Service (FWAHS) sought to develop a new, or implement a modified, community screening methodology to assist in assessing the health needs of remote Aboriginal communities living within its area. Following a review of the literature, it was decided to examine the North Queensland Well Person’s Health Check, which is run in collaboration between the Tropical Public Health Unit (TPHU) in Cairns and the Apunipima Cape York Health Council, a community-controlled indigenous health organisation in Far Northern Queensland. This article describes the process by which the FWAHS adopted its own Far West Well Person’s Health Check (Far West WPHC).
