Country to Coast, QLD (CCQ) is an independent not-for-profit organisation who aim to improve health and wellbeing across the Central Queensland, Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast regions. CCQ's core roles include identifying health needs, commissioning cost effective and sustainable health services, providing and coordinating health services, engaging with, and supporting communities. Our mission is to connect the community to health. CCQ commission services focusing on primary and preventive healthcare, including mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and suicide prevention. Through collaborative efforts with healthcare providers and community stakeholders, CCQ ensures accessible, timely, and efficient care, guided by strategic input from various advisory councils.

Country to Coast, QLD is striving, through this initiative, to foster system-wide integration, which includes our approach to supporting providers in collaborative efforts.
