| | Primary health care systems are needed to address complex health issues and function in the context of composite governance systems that are not always supportive of this purpose. In Australia, as in many other parts of the world, sophisticated partnerships between organisations, professions and jurisdictions have been developed to create more coordinated and integrated systems of primary health care that are better equipped to address the problems requiring attention.
Part 2 of this special issue takes a further look at the interorganisational and interprofessional collaborative approaches adopted in the quest to achieve a more integrated and coordinated Australian primary and community health sector. The papers discuss such issues as the effectiveness of popular organisational models, what determines successful interprofessional allegiances, the medical practitioner’s perspective on health partnerships, as well as the potential for partnerships to provide sector wide responses to climate change. A number of papers in this issue provide updates on the progress and outcomes of existing collaborative approaches. The theme of the special issue is continued from part 1, which was published in issue 15/3 of the Australian Journal of Primary Health.
