HNECC PHN had the privilege of co-hosting the 2019 Commissioning Showcase in Newcastle on Wednesday 28th & Thursday 29th August, in partnership with eight other NSW PHNs.
In its third year, the Showcase is a unique event designed to support commissioning capability for PHNs across the country.
100 participants from 23 of the country’s PHNs attended to learn from their colleagues and key national and international speakers, to network and to share the successes and challenges of working in a commissioning environment.
The Commissioning Showcase provides PHNs with an opportunity to learn about national and international trends in commissioning and to adopt best practice in primary care commissioning to improve health outcomes.

Accurate data and reporting into the Primary Mental Health Minimum Dataset (PMHC-MDS) remains essential to demonstrate good performance. Significant improvements have recently been acknowledged by the Department of Health & Aged Care, but collated data from across the region has identified that opportunities still exist to achieve the mandatory 70% threshold in Indicator Out-3.
The Hunter, New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network (The PHN) has commissioned two new mental health services with the aim of increasing access for vulnerable people.
Reducing the burden of reporting for commissioned services was a commitment the PHN made after the provider satisfaction survey was completed in 2022. Since then, significant work has occurred to streamline reporting and provide a line of sight to performance measures that the Department of Health and Aged Care use to monitor PHNs’ performance.
