In March 2019, the Central Queensland, Wide Bay, Sunshine Cost PHN engaged Beacon Strategies to undertake an evaluation of the outcomes of an alcohol and other drug withdrawal management service delivered by Gumbi Gumbi Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations in Rockhampton.

Beacon Strategies will work collaboratively with NCPHN, North Coast Aboriginal Medical Services and mainstream general practices throughout the project to develop an evidence-based modelling tool to inform decisions on allocation of ITC resources. The Resource Allocation Model (RAM) will be interactive and allow stakeholders to run alternative scenarios of resource allocation to facilitate transparent discussions and decision-making.

The purpose of the Maternal and Child Health Strategy is developing a sector agreed regional approach to improving maternal and child health for women, children and families within the MPHN region.

Beacon Strategies will deliver a comprehensive regional service profile outlining the current capacity and projected demand for services within the Brisbane South region, along with a strategic lens document outlining key considerations for future planning within the region, with a particular focus on vulnerable consumers.

The purpose of delivering the Palliative Care and Older People (with a focus on residential aged care facilities and after hours) Commissioning Project is to provide evidence-based information and undertake stakeholder engagement to inform the design and delivery of an agreed regionalised approach to GCPHN investment in palliative care and an after-hours response in relation to aged care.

This project enabled people in the Brisbane North PHN region to get the right care in the right place at the right time when they are at risk of suicide, following a suicide attempt, or bereaved by suicide.
