Priority Allied Health Services

Improving health and wellbeing by increasing access to services

Our Priority Allied Health Service (PAHS) delivers primary and allied health services in rural locations in the Hunter region. If you are a pensioner, healthcare card holder or low-income earner who would not otherwise be able to access a local service you may be eligible for this service.

We aim to improve health and wellbeing by increasing access to services. We also work to improve connections between allied health and general practice, provide integrated primary care and support preventative health programs.
