The Sunshine Coast Health Regional Needs Assessment informs health service planning, by highlighting community health and service needs. This lens assists in identifying opportunities for service development, as well as exploring new innovative models of care and emerging technologies. Alongside existing integrated planning functions, it will also guide decision making and drive implementation.

The Sunshine Coast Health Regional Needs Assessment assures the Sunshine Coast community that the challenges it faces are recognised and being actively managed. It does not attempt to describe all priorities specific to and felt by all populations. It is current at the date of publication and acknowledges that health and service needs will continue to adapt and change as our population transforms and grows.
