The MAHS Program was established in 2001 to help rural communities gain better access to allied health services and to address rural health workforce shortages. MAHS also supports better links between the GP and the allied health sector, allowing the GP to focus on general practice.
The local model of service delivery represents a collaborative partnership between Murray-Plains as fund holder and a number of other agencies as employer and service provider. Services are provided to clients referred by local general practitioners at appropriate premises. Services include assessments, intake and referral; case management; individual and group activity; and participation in case conferences and care planning sessions with General Practitioners.
