The Commonwealth's PHN Program Performance & Quality Framework defines 7 priority areas + 35+ KPI measures. SNHN's catchment-atlas covers all 7 with 20 tools — primary measures from AIHW, ABS, DSS, DoHAC, ADHA, AIR, AIWH PIP-QI, MBS Item Stats and the NMHSPF planning model. Each KPI in the framework maps to one or more tools below — every cell click is data drilled to LGA level.
The framework groups primary-care commissioning into 7 strategic areas. Each card lists the KPIs SNHN reports against, with chips linking to the tool(s) that deliver per-LGA data and benchmarks.

Every PHN reports against this framework annually to Department of Health & Aged Care. Most commissioning decisions reference at least one of these KPIs as the justification or success criterion. The portal turns "what KPI does this support?" from a procurement-stage question into a single hyperlinked answer — every commissioning paper can cite the exact tool + per-LGA figure powering it.
These aren't framework priority areas in their own right — but they drive the per-LGA variation in every other measure. SNHN commissioning decisions cite them as denominators or stratifiers.
Quick-jump to any tool. Each opens with the catchment headline, per-LGA drill-down, and the methodology + sources used.
SNHN's portal was built in two weeks from public data + their LGA list. Yours can too — same shape, your colours, your data sources. From A$5k starter.
