We shape, strengthen and sustain a health system that works for people, to achieve better healthcare particularly for those at risk of poor health outcomes.We are responsible for planning, guiding and directing investment towards important primary healthcare services.We identify priorities, link services, and fund care that is locally accessible, by working together with GPs, service providers, government and its agencies, and communities.We do this as the operator of the state's three Primary Health Networks, which form part of the Australian Government's national PHN program.We fund a range of primary healthcare services that helps more people access the care they need closer to home.Annually, we invest $56 million into mental health services and $47 million into a combination of other programs designed to address health priorities.We invest $4.2 million a year to support GPs, including online clinical decision-making support; online, telephone and face to face support; digital integration and enhanced practice support programs.Our investment sits alongside that of state and federal agencies, and our strong partnerships and ability to look system-wide at issues of equity and access mean we can help shape, strengthen and sustain a health system for the future.We are delivering better health, together.
