Queensland Country Care Navigation

To assist with your rehabilitation or living with a chronic illness, we established Queensland Country Care Navigation.

Care Navigation is a service provided by Registered Nurses for our Members with Better Hospital (Silver+) cover, Top Hospital (Gold) cover (Closed), or Comprehensive Hospital (Gold) cover (Closed).

The service is aimed at supporting Members who require assistance immediately following a period of time in hospital, or for those living with one or more chronic diseases.

If you qualify for the service, a Care Navigation Care Coordinator will work with you to design a tailored health management plan based on your goals and your support needs at no additional cost to you.

We can work in partnership with your existing health professionals to provide you with on-going care.

If you would like to contact the Queensland Country Care Navigation team call 1300 848 034 or simply complete the contact form and they will be in contact.

This fact sheet is to help you understand more about antenatal and postnatal depression and anxiety, as well as postnatal psychosis, and where to go for further information and help.
