• Identify and bring together small local networks of service providers across local government areas;
• Train and support local network champions in the development and implementation of training packages for 'front line' staff;
• Encourage and support early uptake of the Service Coordination Tools;
• Build on existing primary care relationships to promote wholistic care and sustainable processes.
Hume Region Health and Community Services offer an integrated response by providing good quality client-focussed care within a system that is effective, simple, secure and trusted by all.

The June 2001 Department of Human Services document, 'Better Access To Services - A Policy & Operational Framework' outlined how better access to services can improve outcomes for consumers. It suggested changes to systems, work processes and practices taking into account current best practice in a systemic and collaborative way.
Based on this framework, Central Hume Primary Care Partnership undertook some consultation to develop a Better Access to Services (BATS) implementation model. This work was overseen by the CHPCP's Service Coordination Working Group and a dedicated project officer who worked closely with Upper Hume PCP to:
• Facilitate the identification and adoption of common practices, processes (including information pathways) and protocols;
• Facilitate the uptake of mandated DHS assessment tools.
