Supporting local providers to deliver better care

Primary health services Western and Far West NSW, Western NSW Primary Health Network

Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN) commissions a wide range of health services to improve access to care and respond to the evolving needs of our communities. We fund and support local primary health services, programs and initiatives across Western and Far West NSW to address gaps and ensure people receive the care they need.

Our commissioning model ensures that primary health services in our region are planned, funded and evaluated in partnership with service providers. We aim to address service gaps and deliver better outcomes by investing in programs that are evidence-informed, inclusive and community-driven. While we do not directly deliver care, we play a critical role in funding local health services that meet priority needs.
