Commissioning of clinical care coordination and social work services to work in partnership with general practice and allied health. TENDER NOW OPEN.
North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) seeks to commission one suitable organisation to provide a highly mobile two-person team to work with selected general practices in Hume. It will play a key role in delivering multidisciplinary care to patients with complex needs.
The team will comprise a clinical care coordinator and a social worker. It will meet every week with clinicians and patients at four Hume practices. It will assist staff in assessing patient need, delivering care, supporting patient self-management, and coordinating access to other allied health and support services in the local area.
This is a collaborative project, which will see the selected organisation work closely with NWMPHN and participating general practices to codesign and implement a unique and effective multidisciplinary care model.
Suitable organisations might come from the community health, allied health or adjacent sectors.
Funding of $769,962.94 (ex. GST) across two years (FY25-26 and FY26-27) will be provided to the successful applicant.
