While Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) agencies in the east are providing a number of high quality treatment services, opportunities for improvements were identified by the partnership. Across the region, inconsistencies exist in both service demand and waiting times. Factors identified as contributing to this inconsistency include the ineffective transfer and sharing of client information, limited referrals between services, and the impact of systematic changes due to re-commissioning and reform. The Inner East Primary Care Partnership (IE PCP) was funded to work with AOD services in Inner and Outer Eastern Melbourne to improve the AOD service system.
The Glenelg SAVES project targeted low‐income households who receive Home and Community Care (HACC) services in the Glenelg Shire In South‐West Victoria, including elderly residents and people with a disability. The project focused on increasing the capacity and knowledge of the Glenelg HACC staff through an innovative participatory approach, which sought to engage staff in the project by providing home energy efficiency training.

The National Strategy for Disaster Resilience acknowledges that non-government and community organisations are at the forefront of strengthening disaster resilience in Australia. The work of these organisations can be crucial to help communities prepare, cope with and recover from disasters. Priorities of the Strategy emphasise the role of partnerships and networks based on shared responsibility, coordinated planning and response. Enhancing Networks for Resilience (EN4) is a comprehensive study of the Southern Grampians Glenelg Primary Care Partnership (SGGPCP) using social network analysis to investigate how the networks contribute to disaster resilience.
The National Strategy for Disaster Resilience (NSDR) recognises that the strength of partnerships and networks in the non-government and community sector are fundamental for enhancing disaster resilience (COAG 2011). Southern Grampians Glenelg Primary Care Partnership (SGGPCP), in collaboration with RMIT University, therefore sought to examine how networks developed through SGGPCP might contribute to disaster resilience outcomes, specifically disaster preparedness.
