Our role in the community
Gateway Health is a values-based organisation, striving to continually provide high-quality services that create a positive client experience and enable people to live well. Underpinned by a focus on health promotion and prevention, Gateway Health provides primary health services to people of all ages experiencing diverse health and wellbeing needs.
Services are provided across the life span, from childhood to becoming a parent, adulthood and older age.
The suite of services we provide has grown to include medical practices; allied health; alcohol and other drug services; generalist counselling; family violence programs; gamblers help services; Indigenous programs; aged care services including assessment; disability services; headspace, youth services; regional bush fire response; parenting and family support programs; refugee health; and sexual health clinics. Many of these services operate at the interface between acute care, aged care and primary health care to ensure a seamless transition of care between healthcare providers.
Gateway Health collaborates at many levels with other sectors such as justice, education, housing and employment to support individual client care, and to address the determinants of health at a broader systems level. We seek to strengthen this role by building on existing services and promoting leadership and transformation across the sector.
Gateway Health is committed to delivering positive client and population health outcomes with a focus on early intervention, prevention and health promotion. This focus is supported and put into action through a well-established health promotion program that works in partnership with communities, local government, and a range of public and private entities to implement interventions aimed at strengthening the systems and environments that support the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.
