ANNUAL
REPORT
WOMINJEKA
Welcome, and please come with purpose to North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network’s Annual Report 2022–23.
In this report, you will find a small selection of highlights from the past 12 months, along with messages from our leaders and our financial report.
There are many more stories to be told. This year, we commissioned more than 400 new contracts and worked on hundreds more projects. Our work with our partners reaches many of the 1.9 million people across Melbourne’s CBD, north and west.
To the people who use and work in the health system, who help inform and carry out our work, we say thank you.
To our readers, we invite you to walk with us. If you wish to know more about any of these stories, or you have one to tell, please
contact us or
get involved with our work.

FINANCIAL REPORT

THE
QUINTUPLE
AIM
THE
QUINTUPLE
AIM
The quintuple aim, expanded from the quadruple and, before that, the triple aim, is an internationally recognised framework that encapsulates the principles of health care improvement and reform.
NWMPHN actively pursues all these ends. It is important to remember that the quintuple aim's principles are not mutually exclusive. The challenge lies in driving reform that meets all of them – and NWMPHN is strong proof that this is possible.
Talking less and listening more.

For health care to be truly robust – and properly equitable – service delivery must be sustainable.

NWMPHN is an ACNC registered charity and certified by SAI Global for ISO 9001.
We acknowledge the people of the Kulin nations as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our work in the community takes place. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
We also recognise, respect and affirm the central role played in our work by people with lived experience, their families and/or carers.
