Research partnerships and data requests
Research helps us understand what communities need, what services are working, and where better support is required. At North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN), we use evidence, local insight and strong partnerships to inform planning, improve primary health care, and support better health outcomes across our region.
NWMPHN welcomes opportunities to support or partner with established academics, clinicians and organisations in new research ventures.
If you would like to reach out to us about research you feel we may be able to partner with or support, please submit a research request form or email us on research.data@nwmphn.org.au

Our organisation is committed to enabling equitable access to health care across our catchment and beyond, and we believe that evidence based and data driven decisions are what ultimately leads to better outcomes for our communities.
As part of our work, we collect many forms of data and feedback from our:
We also access external sources such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) census, Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset (VAED), Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset (VEMD) and more. We use this data to create our health needs assessments, and to improve the way that we serve our communities.
As a key data holder of our catchment, we are also open to considering ethical requests to share our work and the data that underpins it. If you have such a request, please submit it through the form above so we can be in contact with you.
Need participants? We can spread the word about your work
From peak bodies to PhD candidates, many researchers in the primary health field depend on participant input.
Perhaps you want to promote a survey to a particular cohort in the health sector, or maybe you want to let people know about upcoming webinars or conferences.
If your work aligns with NWMPHN’s values – in particular, our commitment to access and equity – we will be happy to amplify it through our events calendar, newsletters, e-bulletins and social media channels.
Use our news submission form to submit requests to promote your research, and our events submission form for webinars, conferences and other events.
