More than half a million Australians have served in the Australian Defence Force, with 84,865 current serving members and 496,276 former serving members. Veterans and their families can face specific challenges and health concerns because of their experiences from serving in the defence force, as well as the differences between the military health care system and the civilian health care system.
Resources, training and initiatives that support primary care professionals to provide care for veterans and their families are now available.
Thank you to 104,000 primary health care nurses across Australia. We know that primary health care nurses are essential at every stage of care, from prevention and early intervention to ongoing support in communities.
If you’re a newly graduated nurse or new to working in general practice, our Practice Nurse Support Program can provide ongoing support, advice, and mentoring.
Cardiovascular disease is still Australia’s second biggest killer — but what if the risks could be spotted earlier and primary care professionals could act even sooner?
PHASES is a statewide screening, recall and treatment program supporting general practice to prevent and manage cardiovascular disease (CVD). It combines:
✅ data-driven, clinical tools for GPs such as Primary Sense and the Australian CVD Risk Calculator
✅ practice-level quality improvement support
✅ a consumer campaign to drive earlier intervention, optimise care, and reduce the burden of disease.
The goal? Fewer heart attacks. Fewer strokes. Longer, healthier lives across Queensland.

This breakfast is designed to support residential aged care leaders and clinicians to build understanding of key topics, share insights and consider how legislative and standards changes translate into day-to-day palliative care practice.

Out now! Our Year in Review report is available online, showcasing highlights from our year across our work with partners to:
✅ strengthen systems approaches that support the delivery of coordinated, efficient, high-quality care
✅remove or reduce barriers that prevent people from accessing services when they need them
✅improve population health outcomes—particularly for people and communities that have historically been underserved and experience poorer health outcomes.
To every general practice, Hospital and Health Services partner, community organisation, consumer representative and community member who contributed to these outcomes: thank you. Your collaboration, expertise and commitment make this work possible.
Brisbane South PHN wishes to extend a warm thank you to the Elders, community members and healthcare professionals who attended our fourth annual First Nations Health Forum on Wednesday 3 December 2025.
The forum provided a culturally safe space for community voices to lead the conversation on what’s working well in the health system and where meaningful change is still needed.
Our special thanks to guest speakers:
Welcome to Country by Aunty Kerry Charlton
Noeleen Lopes from Gallang Place
Aunty Faith Green and Angela TuiSamoa from Gunya Meta
Madeline Lewis, Chris Trupp and Laurie Stewart from Footprints Community
Forum highlights included the Let’s Yarn sessions, where community members shared perspectives to guide improved service delivery and strengthen culturally safe care. These roundtable conversations provided valuable insights that will inform our work and support the development of our next Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
This year’s forum drew a record 75 attendees, making it the largest turnout in the event's history. Thank you to all who could make it on the day. Your attendance and support means a lot to us. We look forward to sharing key findings, subsequent steps and future activities with you very soon.

Brisbane South PHN is a not-for-profit organisation that works in partnership with local community organisations, health care professionals, regional hospital and health services, state and federal governments, and the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to support a well-coordinated and collaborative primary health system.
We are committed to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services and improving health and wellbeing in Brisbane south. We do this through both supporting primary care providers and directly commissioning services.
Our region contains 23% of Queensland’s population. This includes a large proportion of vulnerable populations, including culturally and linguistically diverse peoples, refugees, older persons, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The Brisbane south region covers a large geographic area south of the Brisbane River, including metropolitan, rural and remote island locations, and its residents have varied expectations about health and health services.
Given the wide variations in social determinants of health, health behaviours, health outcomes and system/service availability, our role is particularly important for those most vulnerable in the community and at risk of poor health outcomes.
We support the primary health sector through:
providing support services so health service providers can be better placed to deliver care to patients, keeping them healthy and out of hospital
providing workforce development through training and education
working with practices to understand and use eHealth systems
careful analysis and planning to identify and address health service gaps
working with others to purchase or commission health services for local groups most in need, including patients with complex chronic conditions or mental illness.
