The service acts as a middle ground between GPs and the emergency department, providing quality care within the community for patients with a range of chronic, complex and acute illnesses to keep them out of the hospital.

This includes working with aged care facilities to do client assessments, administering antibiotics and managing wound care.

Health minister Jeremy Rockliff said the service had well and truly proved what a valuable role it played in the community.

"We know that when people are treated in the community, when appropriate, they recover sooner," Mr Rockliff said.

"Through investing in community-based multi-disciplinary models of care, we can prevent presentations to the emergency department."

On average, the North West Community Rapid Response Service receives 60 - 70 referrals per month, and has delivered more than 4,630 hours of care to patients since launching the pilot program in 2019.

Clinical nurse consultant Karen Pearce said she was "really glad" to see the service become permanent.

"It's a really needed service," Ms Pearce said.

"It's absolutely critical.

"The feedback we've received from clients and families to say how much the service is needed is overwhelming."

Ray Cobbing is a carer for his wife, who has long been engaged with the rapid response service.

He said the importance of the work they do couldn't be overstated.

"I can commend the ComRRS team very, very highly.

"They've shown great respect, they're very highly trained and (are) wonderful people."
