GCPHN Strategic Plan

‘Gold Coast Primary Health Network works closely with public, private and non-government organisations in the primary health care sector and across the acute care sector to improve the health and well-being of the Gold Coast. For the past five years we have been working towards our vision of “building one world class health system for the Gold Coast’. To achieve this goal, we work closely with diverse groups, sharing knowledge and skills, working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our primary care system, ensuring it meets local needs. This strategic plan reaffirms our commitment to continually refine our understanding of the needs of our community, by leading the development of the health needs assessment for the Gold Coast, and building our capability as a regional commissioning organisation. Our goal is to continually engage with our community to ensure our focus remains on those people who are at most risk of poor health outcomes, and ensuring our investments are directed to improving health for these people. To achieve this, we must work closely with the services we fund to ensure continuous improvement, and more broadly with all services to ensure the system is well integrated, so that the community’s experience reflects that we are operating as ‘’one world class health system”.
