Gippsland PHN is a not-for-profit health network that forms part of Australia's national system of Primary Health Networks, with a regional focus on improving health care delivery. Based in Traralgon, Victoria, it was established in 2015 to coordinate and strengthen primary health services across Gippsland. The organization partners with communities, general practice, allied health, hospitals, and other primary and community health providers to integrate care and leverage funding to tailor services to local needs. 

Its catchment spans six local government areas—Bass Coast, Baw Baw, East Gippsland, Latrobe, South Gippsland, and Wellington—serving a regional population of about 271,000 (based on the 2016 census). Gippsland PHN aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services for patients at risk of poor health outcomes and to improve care coordination so people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time; a notable recent development is the July 2023 launch of new primary healthcare services designed by and for the people who use them.
