Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO4006

The purpose of this grant opportunity is to enable the selection and funding of four lead PHNs with varied populations, geography and other demographic features, to participate in the development of the Primary Care Enhancement Program (PCEP).

The PHN Program aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services for patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes, and improve coordination of care to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place at the right time.

The Department of Health will arrange an evaluation of the PCEP, to inform its subsequent rollout across all PHNs. To support the evaluation, the Department will work with PHNs to develop a program logic for the PCEP, including appropriate outcomes, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and required data sources and measures to enable assessment of its impacts.

This grant will be administered by the Community Grants Hub on behalf of the Department of Health. The grant is to be undertaken in accordance with the Commonwealth Grants Rules and Guidelines (CGRGs)
