The Discovery Coast Primary Health Care Continuity Plan 2026–2028 outlines how local health providers work together to maintain essential care during disasters and emergencies. Covering risks such as mass casualty incidents, bushfires, floods, storms and heatwaves, the plan strengthens coordination between general practices, pharmacies, ambulance services and key agencies to ensure communities continue receiving care when it’s needed most.
It introduces a practical, all-hazards approach with clear communication pathways, local response arrangements and support for vulnerable patients. Through collaboration, training and continuous improvement, the plan builds a more resilient and connected primary health care system across the Discovery Coast region.
This collaborative approach supports coordinated, resilient primary health care responses during disasters.
