The Baptcare Orana Future Options (2012) study is a joint collaboration between Baptcare, the University of Tasmania’s Department of Rural Health (UDRH) and the Institute for Regional Development (IRD). It is based on six months (March-August 2012) of intensive community engagement and research in the Devonport, Latrobe, Central Coast and Kentish municipalities. The research has enabled the identification of service gaps and community needs in these areas, which will inform future options and directions for Baptcare operations at Orana and Karingal in North West Tasmania
