Across the WA Primary Health Alliance Commissioned Services portfolio, we have taken on board significant feedback and insights gained across our first five years to ensure we continue to evolve and improve. One of the commitments we have made for the year ahead is to set clear performance expectations for our commissioned service providers.

A Service Provider Reference Group is being established to ensure insights and knowledge from WAPHA commissioned service providers is considered throughout development of the Framework.

A further opportunity for input from commissioned service providers will also be available through an online survey, planned to open following establishment of the Reference Group.
