families. The Linker Network is a new client-centred, integrated service
delivery model being rolled out across Greater Western Sydney.
With its shared principles and standards, common branding,
tools, resources, and membership, the model is designed to help
service providers work more collaboratively with each other, and to
provide more consistency and flexibility across the service system.
The Local Linker Network Collaborative Practice Groups bring
together members in a geographical area to help each other,
identify gaps, and plan and deliver coordinated services, to give
their clients a positive, streamlined service experience and better
outcomes.
