Local Health Service Networks policy framework

The Local Health Service Networks (Networks) policy framework outlines the Networks purpose and how they will operate to deliver the objectives of the Health Services Plan, including:

• Design and configuration of Networks
• Priority areas
• Collaboration arrangements
• Roles and responsibilities
• Establishment and resourcing
• Reporting and accountability

The scope of the Networks' planning includes clinical streams such as adult surgery, paediatrics, mental health, maternity, public residential aged care, primary and community health services.

Each Network’s plan is expected to take around six to nine months to develop and be completed by mid-2026.
