Primary care is often someone's first point of contact with the health system. Victoria's community health services play an important role in the delivery of state-funded, population-focused, and community-based health services.
Primary care services are usually:
- the pathway people generally take to other services
- a point of coordination between other services
- located in the community
- directly connected to people’s daily lives and to the management of their wellbeing.

If you need care today but it's not life-threatening, and you can't get a GP appointment, help is available.
