Medicare Locals are non-government, not-for-profit primary health care
organisations working to help coordinate and connect primary health
care services for local communities.
Tasmania Medicare Local (TML) manages a range of programs and
services in areas including aged care, where we work to improve access
to primary health care services for older people living in residential aged
care facilities or in the community.
We support partnerships between general practice, residential aged
care facilities, pharmacists, allied health professionals, hospitals and
community health care providers to improve the coordination of health
services for older Tasmanians.
We also help primary health care providers access information and
resources to improve care for Tasmanians living with dementia.
