Understand your own health better with your Community Health Team.
To empower residents to manage their own wellbeing, Community Health Teams work with partners to create Community Health Posts – these 'home bases' bring care directly into neighbourhoods for better accessibility and familiarity.
Community Health Teams cater to a range of needs, from promoting general wellness to stabilisation of care needs. These include:
- Health checks;
- Health education and health monitoring;
- Health coaching and activities;
- Nursing care;
- Medication advice; and
- Coordination and referrals to other health and social care services.
Find your Community Health Team using this map below.

Family doctors play an important role in the management of our patients' health in the community. They have a wide breadth of knowledge and establish long-term relationships with patients, and are often the first point of contact for people who require medical advice.
