Brisbane South PHN undertakes an annual Needs Assessment and ongoing engagement to identify health care priorities for the region.

Once priorities are identified, we develop solutions in partnership with stakeholders and identify opportunities to engage local service providers. At this point, we will call for tenders then appoint and commission the most suitable service provider.

All of the activities involved in the tender process are undertaken in accordance with our Commissioning Principles.

Our service providers

We work with numerous health care providers in our region to deliver a broad range of services to health practices and the community.

To ensure services are delivered in accordance with industry standards and best practice principles, we require various and appropriate certifications and compliance statements from all providers before they are commissioned.

Our commissioning principles

• Understand the needs of the community by engaging and consulting with consumer, carer and provider representatives, peak bodies, community organisations and other funders.
• Engage potential service providers well in advance of commissioning new services.
• Focus on outcomes rather than service models or types of interventions.
• Adopt a whole-of-system approach to meeting health needs and delivering improved health outcomes.
• Understand the fullest practical range of providers, including the contribution they could make to delivering outcomes and addressing market failure and gaps.
• Co-design solutions and engage with stakeholders, including consumer representatives, peak bodies, community organisations, potential providers and other funders, to develop outcome-focused solutions.
• Consider investing in the capacity of providers and consumers, particularly in relation to hard-to-reach groups.
• Ensure procurement and contracting processes are transparent and fair, facilitating the involvement of the broadest range of suppliers, including alternative arrangements such as consortia building where appropriate.
• Manage through relationships and work in partnership, building connections at multiple levels of partner organisations and facilitate links between stakeholders.
• Develop environments high in trust through collaborative governance, shared decision-making and collective performance management.
• Ensure efficiency and value for money.
• Monitor and evaluate through regular performance reports and consumer, community and provider feedback and independent evaluation.
