Our region covers approximately 4,100 km2 of urban, regional and rural areas, with a population of over 960,000.We are one of 31 Primary Health Networks across Australia. Our key objectives are:- to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services for patients; particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes- to improve coordination of care to ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.We achieve these outcomes by:- understanding the health care needs of our community through analysis and planning, helping to identify and address service gaps- providing practice support services so that GPs are better placed to provide care to patients, keeping them healthy and out of hospital- supporting general practices in attaining the highest standards in safety- assisting general practices in understanding and making meaningful use of eHealth systems- working with other funders to purchase or commission health services for local groups most in need, including patients with complex chronic conditions or mental illness.See the specialties section for a list of the healthcare and support programs we manage for people living in our community.
