SWSPHN commissioned Aboriginal artist, Danielle Mate (pictured with SWSPHN CEO, Dr Keith McDonald PhD), to create a new artwork for the foyer of our new office at Level 2, 1 Bolger Street, Campbelltown.
The artwork, called Moving Forward, represents our organisation’s continuing journey towards reconciliation, and better understanding, acknowledging and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their cultures.
Here is the story:
- The circles within circles represent a meeting place, common ground which is SWSPHN
- The journey lines depict the continuous work SWSPHN is doing to understand, acknowledge and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their cultures
- The U shapes symbolise people. The different shapes and sizes show we are all individuals, men and women, working together, inclusive
- The blue roots anchor the team and are fundamental to growth

Every two years SWSPHN asks GPs, Practice Nurses and Practice Managers to take 15-20 minutes out of their day to complete the General Practice and Primary Care Needs Survey, which is used to shape the future of primary care in South Western Sydney.
This is an opportunity for health professionals to share their views on health integration, capacity building, and needs gaps within primary care. Your feedback contributes towards planning for a sustainable primary healthcare workforce, helping healthcare workers and SWSPHN to become empowered to build a healthier South Western Sydney community.
Survey takes 15-20 minutes
If you complete only one survey this year, this should be the one.
This survey takes place once every two years and is important for SWSPHN to plan for improved integrated and co-ordinated healthcare services in South Western Sydney.

Local artist, Danielle Mate, was commissioned to create an artwork that represented the role of South Western Sydney PHN. Here is the story:
The centre oval represents South Western Sydney GPs, practice nurses and other primary care providers.
The large U shape that wraps around the central oval represents the support that PHNs provide to local primary care providers.
The seven segments within this U shape represents the seven local government areas that South Western Sydney PHN supports.
The lines that lead from the centre oval to the community symbolise the role of these primary care providers to ‘feed’ information to their clients and the wider community. The connected shapes are people, each shape is represented differently, to symbolise their individual needs. The outer u-shaped layer around the people show the information building that strengthens them, allowing them to make well informed choices.
Seven background layers represent the national health priorities.
