Planning
Our Health planning team analyses existing health service delivery arrangements and changing patterns of need, to make the most effective use of available and future resources.
What We Do
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

Grants Program
To support our vision of Healthy People and Healthy Communities we have developed a Grants program. Our Grants program addresses local health needs and priorities by providing grant funding for innovative programs and projects throughout our region. Grants are one-off funding opportunities and are not guaranteed on-going funding.
Primary Care Support
We support general practices and health professionals to provide high quality, evidence-informed care, and to maximise their practice's efficiency and sustainability.
