The Alliance provides a platform for the Tasmanian and six Victorian PHNs. The Alliance enables the PHNs to collectively achieve the best possible outcomes for local communities and organisations through leadership, collaboration, coordination and synergy.

Our purpose is to optimise the collective capabilities of Victorian and Tasmanian PHNs as a sector, proactively align efforts with a statewide purview and advance primary care reform.

PHNs have been established with the key objectives of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services for patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes; and improving coordination of care to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place, at the right time.
