We are consumer focused and established to reduce fragmentation of care by integrating and coordinating health services and supporting general practice. We leverage and administer health program funding from a variety of sources to commission flexible services to realise our vision of a measurably healthier Gippsland.
A key component of PHN governance is the Clinical Council (CC). The Clinical Council reports on clinical issues to inform PHN Board decisions. This ensures general practice and other health professionals are major contributors to the organisation and working together to drive local health system improvement.
The Gippsland PHN model consists of one Clinical Council for the Gippsland region, consisting of members from across each LGA (Bass Coast and South Gippsland, East Gippsland and Wellington and Latrobe and Baw Baw).
The Clinical Council Chair is:
