About South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (SEMPHN)
South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (SEMPHN) works primarily on behalf of the Australian Government to improve local health care.
We want everyone in our community to be able to access the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
We are working to achieve this goal by improving access to existing services, commissioning new services to improve health outcomes, and encouraging GPs and others to innovate and further improve local health care.
Our six key priorities are mental health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, population health, health workforce, eHealth and aged care. We partner with general practitioners, other primary health care providers, hospitals and communities to ensure improved outcomes for patients.
Our catchment stretches from St Kilda to Sorrento to Bunyip, including the major population hubs of Clayton, Dandenong, Moorabbin, Caulfield, Cranbourne, Frankston and Pakenham.
