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.”

CheckUP’s Health Industry Workforce Advisor brings workforce knowledge to the APNA Festival of Nursing

CheckUP’s Health Industry Workforce Advisor (IWA) Alina Khalid recently attended the 2025 APNA Festival of Nursing, joining nurses and health leaders from across Australia to explore the future of primary health care.

The conference showcased a range of innovative workforce models and tools including shared medical appointments, the use of AI to augment healthcare providers, team-based approaches such as GP–Aged Care Nurse coordination models. These sessions provided valuable insights into how different models can strengthen access to care, improve collaboration, and better support both patients and providers.

For CheckUP, being part of events like this ensures that our IWA program continues to bring up-to-date workforce knowledge, ideas, and innovations back to the practices and providers we work with every day. This means our clients benefit not only from direct workforce support but also from the latest thinking across Australia’s primary care sector.

The Industry Workforce Advisor program supports small to medium health and community services businesses to address workforce challenges, diversify their workforces, and support workforce and productivity growth. Find out more by selecting the button below.
