Adelaide Joins PHN Southern Alliance

Adelaide PHN has officially joined the PHN Southern Alliance, formerly known as the Victorian and Tasmanian Primary Health Network Alliance (VTPHNA). 

With our admission in April 2026, the Alliance now comprises eight PHNs and operates across three states. Member PHNs include:

• Adelaide
• Eastern Melbourne
• Gippsland
• Western Victoria
• Murray
• North Western Melbourne
• South Eastern Melbourne
• Primary Health Tasmania

The Alliance has operated since 2016 and provides a mechanism for PHNs to collaborate on operational opportunities, enabling shared approaches, peer learning and optimised capacity building.

This improves the effectiveness and consistency of PHN activities and contributes to better local primary care outcomes.

"We are excited to be bringing partners together across three states," said Judy Perkins, PHN Southern Alliance's new General Manager.

"Our new name reflects our evolving partnership and reinforces our collaboration approach to navigating this period of health reform. 

"Together the Alliance members are committed to our collective goal - creating healthier communities."
