Have clients with unmet chronic health needs?
Primary Care at Home is designed to reconnect vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Perth with the primary health services they need. Following your referral, our nurse practitioner will conduct a comprehensive health assessment and create an individual health plan that links your client with the health services they require.
