Driving shared priorities: NATSIHA hosts first Regional Working Group meeting

  13 February, 2026  ·    CEO NATSIHA

NATSIHA, in its role as secretariat and Member of the FNQ Regional Health Partners, was proud to host the inaugural meeting of the new Regional Working Group.

Deputy leaders from major health care organisations across Far North Queensland came together, bringing deep expertise, practical insight, and a strong commitment to the shared priorities set by the region’s health chiefs.

With leads now confirmed for each priority area, the Working Group will advance collaborative regional action on:

  • reducing avoidable emergency department presentations
  • strengthening cancer care
  • suicide prevention
  • improving care coordination.

This marks an important milestone in strengthening cross‑sector collaboration to improve health outcomes across Far North Queensland.

The Working Group will provide its first formal update to the FNQ Regional Health Partners in February 2026.
