Welcome to the homepage of the Darling Downs South West Queensland Medicare Local. We are currently working on a new website which will be launched within the coming months. If you have any specific questions please do not hesitate to contact us and we shall endeavour to answer them as soon as possible.
The Darling Downs South West Queensland Medicare Local (DDSWQML) became operational from 1 April 2012. This followed its establishment by the Australian Government as part of a network of Medicare Locals throughout Australia to coordinate primary health care delivery, tackle local health care needs and service gaps and drive improvements in primary health care and ensure that services are better tailored to meet the needs of local communities.
DDSWQML has been established as a not-for-profit charity with Public Benevolent Institution Status. Membership of the Medicare Local is open to organisations and individuals who are supportive of the strategic objectives of the Company. Foundation members include a range of primary health care organisations operating in the region: GP Connections, Blue Care, the University of Southern Queensland, the Queensland Aboriginal & Islander Health Council, Centacare, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (QLD Section) and RHealth. The Board of Directors is comprised of clinicians from throughout the region as well as people with specific skills to address the planning and delivery of better primary health care services in the Darling Downs and South West Queensland.
This website will contain media releases and all up to date information as it unfolds, please email through any suggestions you may have, we would be happy to hear from you.
