Title
Value‐based primary care in Australia: how far have we travelled?
Abstract
In this article, we discuss how the value-based health care concept has matured across recent years, and consider how it can be achieved in the primary health care sector.
We provide illustrations of related initiatives across the four domains of value-based health care, highlight the need for cultural transformation and reorientation of the system, and call for a national framework and agreed plan of action.

Notes
Study topic:
Review of Australia’s progress in implementing value-based health care in primary care, using four domains from The Economist Intelligence Unit framework.
Study type:
Policy analysis / commentary
Key findings:
- HealthPathways was identified as a key enabler of value-based care, providing evidence-informed clinical and referral guidance to GPs.
- Despite widespread access, publicly available data on HealthPathways’ utility are limited.
- The review highlights promising initiatives across Australia, but notes the absence of a national framework and consistent implementation plan.
- Achieving value-based care requires cultural transformation, system reorientation, and investment in data infrastructure, workforce innovation, and outcome-based funding models.
