Help shape Allied Health Services in Eastern Melbourne 

Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (EMPHN) invites Allied Health professionals in the catchment to take part in the EMPHN Allied Health Survey.  

This survey aims to identify industry needs and understand how we may support and enhance the workforce.  

EMPHN is funded by the Australian Government to: 

• Improve health outcomes; by targeting services where they are needed most, EMPHN helps reduce hospital admissions and improve population health. 

• Ensure value for money; utilising a commissioning framework which promotes transparency, good governance, and efficient use of taxpayer funds. 

• Support national priorities; EMPHN aligns its work with federal health strategies, ensuring that local efforts contribute to broader national goals. 

In essence, EMPHN is funded to be a strategic connector – bridging gaps, enhancing care quality, and ensuring that health services are responsive to the evolving needs of the community. 

The Allied Health Needs Survey is designed to gather insights from professionals working in the following LGAs: 

• Boroondara, Banyule, Yarra Ranges, Whitehorse, Monash, Whittlesea, Knox, Nillumbik, Manningham, Maroondah, Mitchell (part), and Murrindindi (part). 

An easy way to find out if you’re within the catchment is via this map: Primary Health Network (PHN) locator map | Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing 

By participating, you’ll help us:   

• Identify the challenges and opportunities you face as an allied health practitioner in our region. 

• Understand multidisciplinary collaboration with general practice and local health networks.   

• Tailor our support, resources, and advocacy to better meet your needs.   

The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. All participants will go into the draw to win an Apple Watch Series 10 (RRP ~$650).  

EMPHN wishes to thank you in advance for your participation in our Allied Health Needs Survey. We encourage you to share this opportunity with your networks to ensure as many voices as possible help shape Allied Health services in Eastern Melbourne.
