Healthcare
People are physically and mentally healthy so they can make the most of their daily lives.

Each enabler is an essential foundation for achieving the best possible outcomes across all four focus areas.
Workforce
Attracting, growing and retaining workers to provide services by offering career, financial and lifestyle benefits for skilled people and their families.
Place-based Services
Working with local people and communities to secure services that meet local needs, are well coordinated, and represent value for money.
