Our vision is to have healthy, self-reliant communities in Cape York, the Northern Peninsula Area and Torres Strait Islands. Our mission is to plan and fund local health services, based on community aspirations and provider capabilities.

1. Achieve measurable improvements in health outcome indicators of importance to the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations of Cape York, NPA and the Torres Strait Islands;

2. Stimulate greater participation in self-care, illness prevention and disease management;

3. Establish world-class place-based planning, led by community members and involving all local health service providers in the 33 communities of the Cape, NPA and Torres regions;

4. Ensure sufficient resources are equitably available across Cape York, NPA and Torres Strait communities, taking into consideration changing demographics and environmental impacts;

5. Exemplify community-control, trustworthiness, accountability and efficiency in every aspect of our operations;

6. Attract investment beyond government health funding to address social determinants identified through community-led planning; and

7. Grow a fit-for-purpose local workforce to promote a more sustainable health care system for the future.
