Rural Primary Health Service

The aim of the Rural Primary Health Service (RPHS) is to increase effective management of chronic conditions or chronic condition risks in regional and remote communities. This is accomplished by providing additional allied health sessions to eligible patients at no cost.

Objectives

The program’s objectives are to:
• increase the number of people who are effectively managing their chronic condition (or chronic condition risk) in underserviced regional or remote communities.
• increase equitable access to sustainable primary healthcare services in underserviced regional or remote communities

Patient eligibility

People eligible to be referred into the RPHS program must have:
– chronic condition or
– a chronic condition risk.

For people with a chronic condition, a GP will need to refer into the program by determining whether a person is eligible for Chronic Disease Management services. People on a care plan are eligible to receive two additional sessions or unlimited group sessions under the RPHS program. People at risk of a chronic condition are eligible for 2 sessions or unlimited group sessions. The service they access must correspond to the identified risk factor/s.

CheckUP’s 2024-2025 Annual Report is available to view now!

CheckUP celebrates the release of our 2024-2025 Annual Report.

CheckUP’s Annual Report was launched at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 26 November 2025.

Read the Annual Report HERE.

The FY2024-2025 Audited Annual Financial Report (including Director’s Report) is available HERE.

CheckUP is proud to share the progress the organisation has made in advancing health equity across Queensland. 2025 marks 26 years of operation for CheckUP, and the organisation has stayed true to its guiding purpose: to ensure that every person, regardless of geography, has access to quality healthcare and the opportunity to live well.

In 2024-2025, CheckUP supported the delivery of over 180,000 occasions of services through 17,726 Outreach health service visits across more than 170 communities, including remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

CheckUP’s Queensland Government-funded Workforce and Industry programs expanded and strengthened career pathways, sector capability, small business resilience and supported people with disability. Additionally, the Health Gateway to Industry Schools project inspired the next generation of healthcare workers through Career Expos in Cairns and Brisbane, with more than 2,500 students and industry professionals attending.

Collaboration has been central to the organisation’s impact, and the range of healthcare and workforce initiatives and programs would not have been possible without the support of our members, partners, funding bodies, Primary Health Networks, Hospital and Health Services, and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations. We recognise and thank our partners for your ongoing support and commitment.

CheckUP’s CEO, Ann Maree Liddy and Board Chair, Merrilyn Strohfeldt reflected, “As we look ahead, our focus remains on strengthening partnerships, supporting workforce sustainability, expanding access to care, and embedding cultural safety and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We extend our sincere thanks to our Board, staff, outreach providers, members, partners and community leaders for their ongoing commitment and support.

Together with our members and stakeholders, we are working towards a healthier, more equitable Queensland.”
