The Western Victoria PHN is focussed on working with health service providers, users and communities to

part of this process, we are conducting our 2016-17 Population Health Planning Needs Assessment,
collecting and collating information to identify systems and service development priorities, building on our
previous work and knowledge.
The Needs Assessment is our roadmap regarding what primary healthcare our region needs. We will
develop it collaboratively with local health organisations and community groups, bringing together the
expertise to develop a shared understanding of what’s really needed.
Our success depends on a collective effort to ensure better health outcomes for all communities in our
region. As a valued stakeholder in the Western Victoria PHN region, please join us to provide initial input
into our 2016 -17 Needs Assessment.
This is your opportunity to have your say! Please join us and make a positive difference to the region’s
primary health system by providing feedback on local health needs, health system issues and service
utilisation to inform the prioritisation and commissioning of future health services.
