North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) is funding the development of the Health Care Neighbourhood Project - building locally

focused multidisciplinary team care in the Hume local government area (LGA) for residents who have chronic conditions.

We invite general practices in the LGA with between two and four GPs to work closely with us to build a care team structure that is tailored to the needs of their specific patient cohort. The team will include allied health professionals, including a dedicated care coordinator, and be supported by NWMPHN'S Integration team.

Participating practices will be funded $66,600 (ex. GST) per practice for participating in the project's design, implementation and evaluation. There will be no cost to the practice or patient to access the care team.

Four general practices will be invited to take part in this innovative project. Applications close at 3pm (AEDT) Tuesday, 29 October 2024. Planning begins in January 2025. The model rolls out in April 2025 and concludes in mid-2027.

Eligibility

To participate in this pilot, your practice will need to:

•  be located within the Hume local government area
•  be fully accredited
• have two to four GPs consulting at the practice
• nominate a named GP lead, practice nurse and administrator.
