For providers, we’re confirming that referral details are current and accurate, so communities can reach the right services and referral pathways. You’ll also find a reminder to enter service delivery dates in the Online Management System (OMS) after each clinic visit, details on bulk uploading upcoming visit dates, and support with contracts and clinical governance. We also mark World Patient Safety Day 2026 and its theme, Safe care for life.

Watch the event or read the highlights. At the National Rural Health Conference in Adelaide, we ran an Access for All workshop on improving healthcare access for people with disability, and shared the impact of the Skin Cancer Early Detection (SCED) program.

We were proud to sponsor the OMOZ Conference on ear and hearing health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people, and we welcome Debora Gonnella, our new Regional Coordinator for South and South West Queensland.

In community news, we celebrate the opening of Kobi Place in Toowoomba, Rosie Fitzgerald as a National Seniors Australia Community Champion Medalist for 2026, and Jaymie Lynch from QAIHC as a semi-finalist in the 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards.
