Queensland Primary Health Care Network - Metropolitan Area Wall Map

Queensland Primary Health Care Network — Metropolitan Area Wall Map

A clear, metropolitan-scale view of primary health care delivery across Queensland’s major urban regions

This Queensland Primary Health Care Network (PHN) – Metropolitan Area Wall Map provides a focused, wall-ready overview of how primary health care services are organised and delivered across Queensland’s metropolitan areas. Designed for planning, commissioning, and coordination, it translates complex health system structures into a clear geographic reference that can be understood at a glance.

Funded by the Australian Government, Primary Health Networks play a pivotal role in improving access, equity, and outcomes in primary health care. In metropolitan Queensland—where population density, service overlap, and system integration are key challenges—this map supports informed, place-based decision-making.

🩺 The Three Core Functions of PHNs

This wall map supports and reflects the three core PHN responsibilities:

• Coordinate & integrate care
  Working closely with Local Hospital Networks (LHNs) and service providers to improve quality of care, patient experience, and efficient use of health system resources.

• Commission services
  Planning and funding primary care and mental health services to address population health needs, service gaps, access pressures, and equity across metropolitan communities.

• Capacity-build & support providers
  Strengthening general practice, allied health, and mental health services through practice support, workforce development, and system coordination.

🗺️ Why a Metropolitan PHN Wall Map Matters

Government primary health care wall maps are essential visual planning and communication tools. In a metropolitan Queensland context, this map helps users to:

• Visualise PHN boundaries and service catchments across urban regions

• Support commissioning, integration, and partnership discussions

• Align primary care planning with hospital and community services

• Brief staff, stakeholders, and partners quickly and consistently

• Improve transparency and shared understanding of health service delivery

By anchoring strategy and policy in geography, this map strengthens data-informed planning and coordinated care delivery.
