We are responsible for planning, guiding and directing investment towards vital primary care services. We look system-wide at gaps and identify priorities, then link services, and fund care that is locally accessible.
Primary care planning for WA communities
Our health planning starts with understanding where health needs are greatest across Western Australia. We use population data, local intelligence and system insights to identify gaps in care for those most at risk of poor health outcomes. This guides how we determine where investment can be directed to have the greatest impact. We then shape and commission primary health care services to respond to those needs by designing services, partnering with providers, monitoring performance and adjusting our approach over time to improve access, equity and outcomes.
