Clinical Outreach Services for homeless or at risk of homelessness in Far West, Western and Central

⁠⁠⁠WNSW PHN is exploring options to improve access to Primary Care Services for homeless or at risk of homelessness populations within Far West, Western and Central West NSW communities. People experiencing homelessness face significant barriers accessing primary and preventative health care, including lack of transport, competing priorities, limited continuity of care, and challenges navigating mainstream services. This often results in delayed presentations, poor health outcomes and increased use of emergency services.

Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN) is undertaking early market sounding to understand provider capacity, interest, and capability to deliver pathology services across specific regions and / or multiple regions including:

1. Far West NSW region, including the LGAs of Broken Hill, Central Darling, and the Unincorporated Far West,

2. Western NSW region, including

3. Central West NSW Region,

This activity is not a tender process. It gathers information from qualified GPs or service providers interested in possible future commissioning opportunities.
