The ANAO could assess Primary Health Networks’ (PHNs’) administration of Commonwealth grants funding. PHNs are a delivery model for primary health care with the main objectives of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of health services, particularly for those at risk of poor health outcomes; improving the coordination of health services; and increasing access and quality support for people. In 2023–24, the ANAO examined the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing’s performance management of PHNs and the PHN delivery model. Auditor-General Report No. 19 2023–24 concluded that the department was partly effective in its performance management of PHNs and made seven recommendations.
