About NEPCP
The North East Primary Care Partnership (NEPCP) is a voluntary alliance of service providers in north east
metropolitan Melbourne, specifically the local government areas of Banyule, Darebin and Nillumbik.
The Primary Care Partnership Strategy is a Victorian Government initiative that provides funding across the state for PCPs to strengthen relationships, improve service coordination, integrate health promotion activities and reduce the preventable use of hospital services.
The main motivation for service providers to become NEPCP members is to improve relationships, reduce duplication of services, address gaps in service provision and achieve better health and wellbeing outcomes for the community.

The NEPCP Strategic Plan 2010 – 2012 outlines our vision for “A community where all people are able to reach their health and wellbeing potential.” We see our mission as “creating an integrated service system that works to rduce preventable illness and delivers effective client-centred programs.” There are three strategic priorities:
- Support health promotion and preventative initiatives that lead to improvement in mental and physical health
- Ensure better coordination and integration of the service system
- Enhance the partnership through strategic positioning for Commonwealth Reforms
