Who we are
COORDINARE's role is to improve the health and wellbeing of the South Eastern NSW community, one of the largest rural and regional populations in NSW. Watch COORDINARE's 'About Us' video to learn more about our role in primary health care and across local communities.
Our region
COORDINARE is one of 31 Primary Health Networks (PHNs) located across Australia, and one of 10 PHNs in NSW.
Our region stretches from Helensburgh in the north to the Victorian border in the south and inland to Cooma / Monaro, Queanbeyan, Yass and Goulburn.
Our area
We are a large and diverse region, stretching across 11 local government areas and one territory. This includes approximately 680 towns, villages and localities spanning over 50,000km2.
Our region is supported by two Local Health Districts (LHDs) – Illawarra Shoalhaven LHD and Southern NSW LHD.
Our reach and connections help us improve the health, care and wellbeing of one of NSW's largest rural and regional populations.
Our people
South Eastern NSW has a total population of 641,968 people and over half live in major cities, with the rest of the population living in inner and outer regional areas.
More than 62,349 people are culturally and linguistically diverse, and older people account for more than one-fifth of the population. Read more in our Regional Health Snapshot.
Regional profiling and needs assessment
To support our approach to population health planning, we analyse and interpret a wide range of data, topics and variables.
These insights are then translated with the needs of community, stakeholders and health professionals to develop our Needs Assessment. To find out more, contact us.
Sentinel Practices Data Sourcing (SPDS) project
We believe data collected during patient visits to their general practitioner (GP) has great potential for regional population health and service planning.
To explore this, we are studying ways of using electronic health records data for primary care planning. This work is called the Sentinel Practices Data Sourcing (SPDS) project, and has been ongoing since 2013.
