Resource Allocation in Public Health

The resource allocation in public health project was conducted in 1998-1999 and aimed to identify and promote systematic and rational approaches to making decisions on public health resource allocation.

A national workshop was held in 1999 for state and territory representatives to discuss experience with and potential to apply these approaches.
