How we assist with

Our Primary Health Network works with health care providers across the Hunter, New England and Central Coast to deliver a range of primary health care services that meet identified needs and close service gaps for people living in our region.

We analyse and integrate information and data to support health planning and health service delivery in our region.

Our aims are to:
  • Identify & address health needs in our communities​
  • Support and develop improved health care delivery in the primary care sector​
  • Develop and implement improved care pathways and models of care​
  • Commission health services to communities to close service gaps - we are not a service provider

Allied Health

Allied health is the second-largest clinical workforce in Australia and demand for allied health over the next decade is expected to continue to grow, especially in rural areas. Allied Health plays a critical role in primary healthcare in helping people to lead healthier lives – and if they become unwell to receive the right care in the right place at the right time.

Commissioning

HNECC is one of 31 Primary Health Networks (PHNs) funded by the Australian Government to commission programs and services. Commissioning is a core activity of PHNs, and underpins all the work that we do. PHNs do not provide health services, but rather commission them and support service providers to improve efficiency and quality.
