Wellington Primary Care Partnership

The Wellington Primary Care Partnership is a voluntary partnership of 24 health and community based agencies in the Wellington Shire.

Our Vision is that:

‘Together we will enhance health opportunities and outcomes for the communities of Wellington.’

Wellington PCP’s overall vision emphasises collaboration and partnership. It is our vision to bring together all people, health professionals, agency staff and community members in Wellington, to share the goal of improving health opportunities and outcomes for all.

The PCP Strategy is funded by the Victorian government to improve the health and wellbeing of community members by strengthening relationships between primary care providers across a catchment area so they are able to implement improved service coordination, integrated health promotion and planning and joint programs. Aims include to:

• Improve the experience and outcomes for people who use primary care services.
• Reduce the preventable use of acute and residential services via a greater emphasis on health promotion programs, early intervention and chronic disease management.
• Develop service coordination links between primary care providers to enable early needs identification and service planning, and effective and efficient referral and care coordination between GP’s and other healthcare agencies.
• Plan and deliver more effective health promotion programs and services underpinned by a social model of health.
• Increase community participation in needs identification, service development and implementation.
