Primary Health Networks Program Core Funding
The PHN Program Core Funding grant opportunity provides three streams of funding to PHNs:
- corporate governance funding supports the corporate and administrative costs and requirements of running a PHN
- health systems improvement funding for activities to assist in the integration and coordination of health services in each PHN region
- flexible funding enables PHNs to commission frontline health services. The services respond to local health priorities identified in individual needs assessments and national health priorities as determined by the Government.
The objectives of the grant opportunity are to:
- support the administrative costs of running a PHN
- deliver core functions including population health planning and system integration
- commission services to deliver priority primary health care services in their regions.
The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are to:
- maintain business operations for PHNs
- commission flexible services to meet local needs and priorities
- improve patient access to range of health services and activities
- improve coordination of care for patients and integration of health services in their region.

PHNs are individual, not-for-profit organisations that were selected through an open competitive process in 2014-15 to deliver the PHN Program.
To be eligible for grants under the PHN Program, grant applicants must be one of the 31 PHNs listed in the Grant Opportunity.
Grants under the PHN Program are limited to only existing PHNs; this is in keeping with the intent of the program to provide a national network of regional organisations that commission and integrate services at the local level to address identified needs, and provide support and system level integration for health services to improve coordination of care for patients.
The yearly performance assessment determines the continuation of grant funding to each PHN.
