Adelaide PHN is one of 31 independent organisations nation-wide that are funded by the Australian Government to coordinate and improve primary health care services in their local areas.

The Australian Government's objectives for Primary Health Networks (PHNs) are that they will:

- increase the efficiency and effectiveness of health services for patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes; and

- improve coordination of care to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place at the right time.

Adelaide PHN's catchment area covers the Adelaide metropolitan area, reaching from Sellicks Hill to Angle Vale and from the foothills to the sea. It encompasses a community of some 1.2 million people.

Adelaide PHN aims to improve health outcomes for the community by commissioning services to address local needs. It is guided by community, clinical and stakeholder input.
