AIHW publishes Potentially Preventable Hospitalisations 2023-24 at state-aggregated PHN level — every PHN within a given state reports the same age-standardised rate. Northern Sydney's catchment (931,439 people, ABS ERP 2024) sits at the NSW state rate of 2219/100k. Applied to the catchment population, that's approximately 20,669 PPH admissions per year.

Total preventable hospital admissions per 100,000 age-standardised population.
Acute conditions amenable to timely primary care (cellulitis, UTI, dental, dehydration, ENT, gastroenteritis).
Chronic conditions amenable to ongoing primary care (diabetes complications, COPD, CHF, asthma, angina).
Conditions preventable by NIP-schedule vaccination (influenza, pneumococcal, pertussis, measles, hepatitis B, rotavirus).
PPH is a core PHN Program Performance & Quality + AIHW indicator. AIHW publishes the rate state-aggregated per PHN — every PHN in NSW reports the same rate. True per-PHN or per-LGA PPH variation requires record-level NHMD extraction with PHN/LGA attribution (Domato internal-data tier). The portal does not synthesise per-PHN rates beyond what AIHW publishes.
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.
