Grants under the Primary Health Network (PHN) Program are limited to existing PHNs only. 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.
PHNs are individual, not-for-profit organisations selected through an open competitive process in 2014-15 to deliver the PHN Program. PHNs must meet the requirements of the grant agreement and are required to demonstrate their performance against the PHN Program Performance and Quality Framework, which is assessed annually. The yearly performance assessment determines the continuation of grant funding to each PHN. Grant applicants must be one of the 31 PHNs listed in Section 4 of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines to be eligible for these grant opportunities.
PHNs undertake Needs Assessments and use collaborative approaches to determine the priorities for the program. They have experience in commissioning services based on this assessment that reflect their local circumstances which enhance the capacity, efficiency, and effectiveness of after-hours services.
Grants under this grant opportunity will only be offered to eligible PHNs to deliver on the program objectives and commission health services within the boundaries of each PHN.
Refer to Grant Opportunity Guidelines for full list of eligibility requirements for each Stream.
