As a company, we strive to continue making a difference in helping older persons live independently at home, integrating health and social services. Recently our efforts with this were recognised by the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN), who have awarded Atticus Health a tender to deliver Early Interventions for Healthy Ageing in the inner-city area of Melbourne. Commencing in July 2023, this project will allow us to help particularly vulnerable groups of older persons including those from LGBTQI+ and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island backgrounds.
By establishing a team comprising a Care Manager, Community Liaison Person and GP, we will conduct patient home visits, incorporating telehealth along the way. The project will breathe life into “Mobile GP” , a niche service Atticus Health has been developing for some time in the background.
A big thank you to the NWMPHN for supporting Mobile GP. We look forward to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable older persons around Melbourne City.
