The South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (SEMPHN) is dedicated to helping allied health professionals create healthier communities across the region. As the second-largest clinical workforce in Australia, allied health professionals are essential to primary care.

By promoting collaboration with general practices and offering tailored support, SEMPHN helps these professionals navigate local challenges and provide more coordinated, patient-centered care.
Through its efforts, SEMPHN aims to build a more connected, effective, and sustainable healthcare system, ensuring that every patient receives the comprehensive care they need.

National Allied Health in Primary Care Engagement Framework
The National PHN Cooperative has launched a framework designed to strengthen collaboration between Primary Health Networks (PHNs) and the allied health sector. This framework, The National PHN Allied Health in Primary Care Engagement Framework, will serve as a roadmap for increased and collaborative ways of working.
Allied Health Peak Bodies and practitioners, State/Territory and Federal government and PHNs have all played a crucial role in shaping the development of the Framework over the past year. This input has been invaluable in informing future engagement strategies to support allied health contributions to consumer and community outcomes.
