Nursing in Primary Health Care Program Evaluation

Share your experience in a paid focus group

The Australian Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has engaged Allen + Clarke Consulting to evaluate the Nursing in Primary Health Care (NiPHC) Program. The evaluation is looking at the impact of the program from July 2018 – June 2023 and includes three projects:

  • The Transition to Practice Program (TPP).
  • Chronic Disease Management and Health Ageing (CDMHA) Workshops.
  • The Building Nurses Capacity (BNC) Project.

 

Focus group options

Focus groups will be held online in December. Ten different sessions are available so you can choose one that suits you.

Who is undertaking the evaluation?

The project is being undertaken by Allen + Clarke Consulting – a well-established and respected management consultancy based in Melbourne and Wellington, New Zealand, specialising in evaluation and research, policy and regulation, and program support services.

The evaluation is being led by Paul Houliston (Managing Partner and Project Sponsor) and Emma Keleher (Lead Evaluator).

 

Why is this evaluation being done?

The Department wants to understand:

  • How the program was implemented
  • Whether it achieved its intended outcomes
  • What benefits it delivered for the nurses who participated
  • What can be learned to guide future planning and investment.

Your insights will help inform future initiatives to strengthen nursing in primary health care.

 

Why should I participate?

Your experience matters! We’re looking to hear directly from nurses and nurse mentors who were involved in the program – what worked well, what could be improved, and what impact it had on your practice.

To thank you for your time, all participants will receive a $100 Woolworths Wish e-gift voucher.
