As the population ages, health systems across the world are working to improve care delivery and support healthy ageing. Billie is one such person.

Born in the early 1900s Billie has lived life to the fullest, married in Sydney in the shadow of World War II before heading north, she is now receiving care from the comfort of her Residential Aged Care Facility (RACF) thanks to the Metro North’s RACF Support Service.

The service provides care to people living in RACF in partnership between the Hospital and Health Service, GPs and the RACFs, providing truly patient-centred care.

Services such as this and local Residential Aged Care District Assessment and Referral teams, mean people like Billie no longer have to travel to a new and overwhelming environment like Emergency Departments and the RACFs are empowered to enhance the scope of the care they can provide.

The Residential Aged Care Facility Support Service is part of the broader strategy to improve the quality, safety and care of older Queenslanders.
