Eastern Eyre Annual Report

Eastern Eyre Health & Aged Care Inc. is committed to implementing recruitment and retention strategies to address its nursing workforce needs.

Eastern Eyre Health & Aged Care Inc. was formed in July 2000 and came to being with the amalgamation of the following health units: Cleve District Health & Aged Care, Kimba District Health & Aged Care & Cowell Community Health & Aged Care. The amalgamation process was undertaken to enable the communities in the District Council areas of Cleve, Franklin Harbour & Kimba to form a Multi Purpose Service and access the Commonwealth Rural Health Service funding for Primary Health Care.

Following the amalgamation there has been a huge increase in the primary health focus which is seen as a most valuable service to complement the existing acute & residential care services that have been available for many years.

Eastern Eyre Health and Aged Care is charged with providing a comprehensive range of health, aged and community services to the Cluster communities of Cleve, Franklin Harbour and Kimba. To ensure this range of services is meeting the needs of the three communities and is provided from a cost effective and equitable basis, significant organisational and financial development at Cluster level has taken place over recent years.
