About Primary Health Tasmania

Primary Health Tasmania is a non-government, not-for-profit organisation working to connect care and keep Tasmanians well and out of hospital. We are one of 31 organisations under the Australian Government's Primary Health Networks (PHN) Program. Collectively all PHNs deliver national primary health care reforms to support and enable a coordinated, primary care-focused health system.

Primary Health Tasmanian operates statewide with offices in Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone and has strong relationships with a broad range of private, public and community sector organisations across primary, acute, aged and social care.  This puts us in good stead in our push for a coordinated, primary care-focused health system delivering right care in the right place at the right time by the right people.
