Program Summary    Minimize

 

The Rural Primary Health Services (formerly MAHS) Program provides additional allied health services in towns across the Division that are identified as in need. Patient access to these free services is dependent on certain criteria and most services are only available through a GP referral.
 
If the patient has a current GP Management Plan and Team Care Arrangement in place, allied health referrals should be made through the relevant MBS allied health and dental services items, before a Rural Primary Health Services referral is provided.
