Refreshed engagement and partnering framework with renewed focus

01 October 2025

Every day, Brisbane North PHN, engages and partners with a diverse range of stakeholders across the region to help us achieve our vision of a community where good health is available to everyone.

Ensuring we engage and partner effectively is critical to shape change, leverage resources and strategically address key health needs in North Brisbane, Moreton Bay City, parts of Somerset Regional Council and Norfolk Island.

Over several months, the PHN undertook a review of the organisation's existing Engagement and Partnering Framework.

Originally published as an internal document, the Framework has been adapted for internal and external use to amplify the PHN’s commitment to building and maintaining meaningful stakeholder relationships.

The Framework sets out the PHN’s strategic approach to engagement and partnering and highlights:

  • our context for engagement and partnering
  • our approach to engagement and partnering
  • methods we use for effective and inclusive engagement and partnering
  • measuring our engagement and partnering impact.

The Framework is supported by an internal toolkit, launched in February 2025, that provides PHN staff with resources in the form of guides, policies, tools and templates to embed a best practice approach to developing and supporting stakeholder relationships and interactions that are intentional and fit for purpose.
