Health Services in Albany
What Is This?
Health Services provide links to medical support in both the public and private sector. The support includes a wide range of initiatives aimed at maintaining and improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities. These services include primary care, hospital care, mental health services, allied health services, preventive care, and health promotion programs.
How Is It Funded?
Health Services are primarily funded through Medicare and other public health initiatives. Additional funding comes from private health insurance, and out-of-pocket gap payments by patients. How much does it cost? The costs vary from each provider and health service. A portion of costs might be met by either Medicare or private health insurance.
How To Access?
Individuals can access health services through local clinics, hospitals, online health platforms, and referrals from general practitioners (GPs). Government websites and hotlines also provide information on available health services, including emergency assistance and specialised care.
