Members of the public can feedback information, suggestions, concerns, etc., to the advisory group who work with health services and local government to advocate for health services on behalf of the community.

Primary Health Care Survey

WA Primary Health Alliance is a planning and commissioning body dedicated to building a robust and responsive patient-centred primary health and social care system. Our local Primary Health Network would like the public's thoughts on the planning and design of primary health care in WA.

The PHN are particularly interested in learning more about your experience of primary care in the past 12 months. Primary health care refers to the services given by people such as General Practitioners (GPs), physiotherapists, pharmacists, mental health and alcohol and other drug counsellors etc.

Your responses will contribute to their understanding of the needs in our region, and help in the planning and funding of activities and services that provide people with the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Please take this quick survey to feed back your experiences and thoughts on primary health.
