Overview

The state government funds 30 Primary Care Partnerships (PCPs) to improve access to services and continuity of care for people through improved service coordination, as well as chronic disease prevention, integrated health promotion, and partnership development.

Primary Care Partnerships (PCPs) are made up of a diverse range of member agencies. All PCPs include hospitals, community health, local government and divisions of general practice as core members of the partnerships. Other types of agencies such as area mental health, drug treatment and disability services are also members of PCPs. The partners can also be specific to local issues and needs. For example, some PCPs have engaged with the police, schools and community groups.

The Primary Care Partnership Strategy and associated program logic outlines the following domains of activity:

  • Partnership Development
  • Integrated Health Promotion
  • Service Coordination
  • Integrated Chronic Disease Management
