VTPHNA response (2021): Productivity Commission Final Report on Mental Health

In February 2021, the Victorian and Tasmanian PHN Alliance provided feedback on the final report of the Productivity Commission into Mental Health – a national inquiry on the social and economic benefits of improving mental health.

The paper highlighted the five key roles of PHNs against the recommendations of the Commission’s final report:

  • regional commissioning
  • primary care system stewardship
  • primary health care education, training and workforce development
  • system coordination and integration
  • health system transformation and reform.
