For 15 million Australians living with a chronic health condition – the findings of a landmark international survey offer insights on how to improve care, so these patients not only survive but thrive.
MEDIA RELEASE
Australia is managing chronic conditions well compared to other countries, according to a ground-breaking international survey of patients on their health outcomes and experiences with GP practices.
Australia performed better or close to the OECD average in 10 health areas measured. We ranked in the top 5 countries in 4 areas: quality of care, coordination of care, person-centred care and physical health.

On behalf of the Commission, I am delighted to congratulate five Australian health services that have been recognised for demonstrating excellence in implementing one of our national Clinical Care Standards.
