Public Consultation on the refresh of the National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions

Overview

The Department of Health and Aged Care (Department) is undertaking an open public consultation on the refresh of the National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions (Framework). The Framework is the overarching policy for chronic conditions in Australia and provides guidance for the development and implementation of relevant policies, strategies, actions and services. 

The Framework was published in 2017 with a timeframe of eight years (2017-2025). 

We are interested in understanding how stakeholders have viewed and engaged with the current Framework to date, including any enablers and barriers to implementation. Through this public consultation, the Department aims to identify opportunities to improve the refreshed Framework and better support Australians living with chronic conditions. 

All responses will be anonymous however, participants should take care to exclude any identifiable information in their responses. Responses may be shared with third parties, published or made publicly available.

The survey should take you about 15-20 minutes to complete.

Please take the time to read the consultation paper before you fill in the survey. This will assist you in answering the questions and provide some contextual information about the current chronic condition landscape in Australia.  

This survey will close at 3:00 pm AEST on Monday 29^th April 2024.

If you or someone you know has something they would like to share about the National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions but cannot complete this survey, please email NSFCC.consultation@health.gov.au.
