CIC109 Care for individuals in the community - Think Education Australia

Primary health care involves a person-centred and holistic approach to health care. It is made accessible to people by being located as close as possible to where they live, and supporting their full participation in a spirit of self-reliance and self-determination. Additionally, Primary Health Care includes personal care with a focus on health promotion and the prevention of disease. It is underpinned by guiding principles of equity, access, empowerment, self-determinism and inter-sectoral collaboration, integrated with an understanding of the determinants of health.
