Tool № 14 · After-Hours GP Access

Real population + real UCC locations — MBS after-hours data isn't per PHN.

After-hours primary care is a stated SNHN commissioning priority. The real, loaded facts: 931,439 residents per ABS ERP 2024, and 2 Urgent Care Clinics in the SNHN catchment (Commonwealth public list). MBS after-hours item utilisation per PHN, telehealth uptake per PHN, PIP-AfterHours practice coverage, and Healthdirect call rates per PHN are not in public release — we disclose those gaps rather than apply national rates locally.
