ACT Primary Health Care Network — Wall Map

A portrait-format planning map supporting coordinated primary health care across the ACT

This ACT Primary Health Care Network (PHN) Wall Map presents a clear, authoritative view of PHN boundaries and service geography across the Australian Capital Territory. Designed for practical use in offices, meeting rooms, and clinical settings, it supports collaboration, commissioning, and service integration within one of Australia’s most interconnected health systems.

Funded by the Australian Government, Primary Health Networks play a critical role in strengthening primary care and mental health services. This wall map provides a shared spatial reference that helps teams align strategy with place—essential in a compact jurisdiction where hospital, community, and primary care interfaces are tightly linked.

🩺 The Three Core Functions of PHNs

PHNs deliver three essential functions, all supported by the clarity and accessibility of this ACT wall map:

• Coordinate and integrate care
  Working closely with Local Hospital Networks (LHNs) and community providers to improve quality of care, patient experience, and efficient use of resources across the ACT.

• Commission services
  Planning and funding primary care and mental health services to address population needs, close service gaps, and improve access and equity.

• Build capacity and support providers
  Strengthening general practice, allied health, and mental health services through workforce support, system integration, and continuous quality improvement.

🗺️ Why a PHN Wall Map Matters in the ACT

Primary health care wall maps are powerful planning, communication, and education tools. In the ACT context, this map helps users to:

• Visualise PHN coverage and service relationships across the Territory

• Support commissioning and service planning with clear geographic context

• Align primary care with hospital catchments and community services

• Brief staff, partners, and stakeholders quickly and consistently

• Encourage shared understanding of how the ACT health system fits together

By translating policy and service structures into geography, the map strengthens evidence-based decision-making and cross-sector coordination.
