Working together to deliver a dynamic, high quality and responsive one health system statewide.
The WA Collaborative Commissioning Partnership is an agreement between:
- The Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing
- The WA Department of Health
- The Aboriginal Health Council of WA
- WA Primary Health Alliance.
Together, the Partners have developed the WA Joint Statement, outlining their shared commitment to a unified, whole of system approach to improve health outcomes for all Western Australians, particularly those experiencing greater barriers to care.
Purpose
- Reduce duplication and fragmentation.
- Strengthen integration between primary, community and hospital care.
- Enhance continuity of care and improve health equity and outcomes for all Western Australians, particularly in areas of greatest need.
Why it Matters
- Shared Accountability: Coordinated planning, commissioning and service delivery reduce duplication across the system.
- System Sustainability: Statewide leadership and strategic oversight strengthen a resilient, future-focused health system.
- Equity & Inclusion: Cultural safety and consumer voices shape decision-making to support inclusive and equitable outcomes.
