After years of advocy and working with QLD Government Health Ministers and QHealth we where delighted that on Thursday the 14th of March 2019 Queensland Health Minister the Hon Dr Steven Miles MP publically announced a huge increase in funding for Little Haven over the next 4 years.
The announcement of $4m in State funding over the next 4 years follows a 14 month funding review by the Health Department. In addition to the announcement of the new funding what was especially pleasing was the public recognition of the value that the Queensland State Government now places on the Little Haven Community Based Paliative Care model.
This model would not exist today if it was not for the endless fundraising and support for our work by the Gympie Community over the past 40 years.
The funding announcement was front page news on the Gympie Times on Saturday the 16th March 2019. Click the image below to read the full details of the announcement.
Update May 27th 2019 : The Little Haven CEO and Chair signed off on this new service agreement with QHealth 2019 – 2023 with improved funding model from July 1st 2019.
