We build and strengthen primary health care in Western Australia, so people can access the services they need closer to home.
WA Primary Health Alliance is part of the Australian Government’s national Primary Health Network (PHN) program which aims to strengthen, improve and connect the primary care system.
As the operator of Western Australia’s three PHNs (Perth North, Perth South and Country WA), our state-wide structure and strong partnerships allow us to deliver better health, together.
We work closely with GPs, service providers, hospitals, government and the community to improve health equity and outcomes for all Western Australians, particularly those at risk of poor health.

National presence:
Australia’s 31 PHNs are independent, not for profit organisations that improve care in their regions.
They join forces through the PHN Cooperative, a CEO-led initiative that reflects a commitment to collaborating and delivering on a national agenda in primary health priority areas.
WA Primary Health Alliance has strong representation on national PHN Cooperative working groups, including workforce, aged care, after hours, mental health and alcohol and other drugs. This provides an opportunity to inform the PHN national position and ensure the Western Australian perspective is represented.
