ABOUT SEMPHN

We are leaders, facilitators and influencers towards the shared goal of better primary health care.

Reporting to an independent Board, SEMPHN is funded by the Australian Government to help people in south east Melbourne get the health care they need, when and where they need it.

We do this by:

• Commissioning out-of-hospital services, locally.
• Partnering to make quality care more accessible and integrated, and easier to navigate – especially for people who need it most.
• Helping primary health care professionals to deliver the best care possible – now, and into the future.
• Influencing Government policy on primary health care reform.

Evidence-based practice is the foundation of our work. We are constantly asking, ‘together, how can we do this even better?’ This could mean challenging the status quo and designing things differently. Ultimately, it’s about measurably improving health for people in south east Melbourne. So, are you with us?
