Business / Provider Profile
The Primary Health Network (PHN) is a not for profit organisation funded by the Commonwealth government to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the primary health care system.
Following changes introduced by the Commonwealth government in 2014 the PHN replaced the Central Coast, Hunter and New England Medicare Locals.
The PHN is not a direct provider of services, instead it manages a range of service agreements with organisations to deliver primary health care programs in areas of identified need. Program areas funded include mental health, Aboriginal health, GP after hours care and Rural Primary Health Services (RPHS)
Our Vision
Healthy People and Healthy Communities
Our Purpose
To deliver innovative, locally relevant solutions that measurably improve the health outcomes of our communities

Our Principles
We will deliver better health outcomes that are efficient, effective, equitable and sustainable by:

helping people understand and care for their own health, and supporting them as partners in a better health system
supporting and being guided by GPs and other clinicians as leaders in a better health system
aiming for the best use of health resources, with locally relevant services that are high quality and cost-effective collaborating with others to enable and coordinate timely and appropriate health care, so that people can stay well in their communities
