National Primary Health Care Reform
A New Era in Primary Health Care
Bayside General Practice Network, Monash Division of General Practice and Southcity GP Services have announced that their joint bid with to set up a Medicare Local (ML) has been selected as the preferred application for the Bayside Medicare Local. Subject to some minor further negotiations with the Federal Government, the new Medicare Local is set to commence operations on I January 2012 – less than two months away!
Medicare Locals are primary health care organisations established to coordinate primary health care delivery and tackle local health care needs and service gaps. They will drive improvements in primary health care and ensure that services are better tailored to meet the needs of local communities.
ISEPICH and Kingston Bayside PCPs as well as a number of other primary health care and community organisations were partners in the application and made significant contributions to its content. ISEPICH is a member of the current steering committee and its strategic planning group as well as having a seat on its transition board.
Covering the entire city council areas of Glen Eira, Port Phillip, Stonnington, Kingston and Bayside (plus a little bit of the City of Melbourne) the ML, will in the first instance be managed by a Transition Board consisting of three GPs, two representatives of primary care partnerships, an independent finance expert and a consumer representative. Once the new entity is bedded down, an ongoing Board of Directors will take over governance of the new organisation.
For more information on MLs go to www.yourhealth.gov.au.

Partnership Plan
ISEPICH regularly produces a plan that sets out the partnership's goals for health promotion, service coordination and chronic disease management.
The revised ISEPICH Strategic Health and Wellbeing Plan 2009-12 Part 1 was submitted to the Department of Health in July 2011. For any queries or comments on the plan, please contact Anne Jungwirth, ISEPICH Executive Officer, on ajungwir@portphillip.vic.gov.au or 9209 6455.
We're all in it together: this presentation to the "Power of Partnerships" conference, November 2008, illustrates ISEPICH's approach.
