Health

Access to health services is an essential component of any thriving community. Investment in expanded health care services provides opportunities to impact the whole-of-life care for residents of the Western Downs.

Western Downs Regional Council believes in developing a region where residents can age in place, rather than leave their hometowns to access primary health care services. To support its vision, Western Downs Regional Council partners with aged care and retirement facilities, together with supporting health services and allied services.  

There is demand for expansion of health services in the region and opportunities for further investment in both allied and primary health care service. We believe the Western Downs is well positioned to attract quality health service providers. To ensure this can be realised, the Western Downs Planning Scheme has identified health precincts to allow for the co-location of public and private health infrastructure.
