One of the main aims of primary health networks around Australia – including Primary Health Tasmania – is to improve coordination of care to ensure people get the right care in the right place at the right time.
We promote these values when striving to make a person’s health journey as seamless as possible:
person-centred care: health care that puts consumers at the centre of health decisions, and respects and responds to their needs and values
streamlined care: improving transfers of care between acute, primary care and aged care services.
Our commissioned activity

The answer: The GP Antenatal Shared Care Pregnancy Record.
“It helps me when I come home, to have something physical to look back on,” Launceston local Sarah Simms, who used the little pink booklet to document her second pregnancy, says.
