An update from our team

Adelaide PHN receives funding from the Australian Government Department of Health to commission services which meet the health needs of the Adelaide metropolitan community.

Below is a summary of our recent commissioning activities.

COMMISSIONING UPDATE: CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) SERVICES

On 6 October 2021, Adelaide PHN announced an open market tender for the recommissioning of CPD services for the primary health care workforce of the Adelaide PHN region for the period January 2022 to June 2023.

The CPD program aims to provide the primary health care workforce with activities that maintain, improve, and broaden their knowledge, expertise, and competence, and that develop the personal and professional qualities required throughout their professional lives.

The program will be in line with the Adelaide PHN national and local priorities, which include:

• Workforce development (formerly general

CPD) • Aboriginal health • Mental health • Population health (including urgent care,

COVID-19, and immunisation) • Digital health

The tender call closed on 2 November 2021, with the preferred provider to commence in January 2022. Adelaide PHN’s Commissioning Handbook is a great resource that not only articulates our expectations but also provides some useful tips to aid the commissioning process for our current and future partners. You can access a copy of the handbook via our website.
