Government health service searches for ad agency

The government’s National Health Call Centre Network is searching for an advertising agency.

The assignment, estimated to be worth $2-3m over a year, will see the winning agency promote NHCCN’s services to the public.

NHCCN was set up in 2006 to give Australians access to all health services. Its services include nurse triage helpline healthdirect Australia, the after hours GP helpline and the pregnancy, birth and baby helpline.

The group has been using agencies on a project basis to date, and wants to find a long term partner.
