WA Primary Health Alliance is responsible for planning, guiding and directing investment towards important primary care services on behalf of the Australian Government.
We recognise some people and communities don’t have the same access to quality health care and experience ongoing poor health outcomes.
As the operator of WA’s three Primary Health Networks, mapping and understanding these under-served communities and the barriers they face is crucial.
We commission health care services based on data and target them to those most in need.
This includes assessing and prioritising needs, planning and designing services, shaping the structure of supply, contracting service providers, and monitoring and evaluating their performance and our commissioning direction.
We enable health professionals to work effectively and deliver comprehensive care, helping at-risk individuals stay well in the community and avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and delayed discharge.
We are innovative in our approach, developing evidence-based solutions to local problems and scaling them state-wide where evaluated and evidenced.
