Over the past 10 years in Victoria, Primary Care Partnerships (PCPs) have been integral to the development and extension of the primary healthcare system. The 31 PCPs represent a constituency of 1200 agencies including: community health services, acute hospital services, General Practice Networks, local government and other government agencies and non-government organisations.

The partnerships have enabled development and implementation in key program areas including service coordination (incorporating e referral and standard referral frameworks), integrated chronic disease management, integrated health promotion and collaborative cross sectoral interventions to enhance the health of our communities.
