Population Health
Needs assessment
SEMPHN compiles Needs Assessments each year. These documents provide information on the population profile of the SEMPHN catchment and identify the specific health needs of our communities across South Eastern Melbourne. Having access to timely population, health and service usage data at a local level provides greater depth to profiling the catchment, service demands and utilisation and enables initiatives to be targeted to populations that demonstrate higher rates of need.
