Sustainability and Viability Initiative (SAVI)

What is SAVI?

SAVI is a practical tool designed to give practices a clearer picture of what’s working well and where there may be opportunities to strengthen sustainability over time, regardless of size, location or current circumstances.

This program helps general practices self-assess their workforce, operations and finance. Once completed, you will receive a tailored report that provides useful insights into your business and highlights potential areas for future planning or improvement.

The assessment is completely voluntary, and results are 100% confidential.

Who can participate in the program?

Access to this assessment is available to all general practices and Aboriginal Medical Services in the Healthy North Coast footprint via a code unique to their organisation. 

Once completed, you will receive a tailored report that provides useful insights into your business and highlights potential areas for future planning or improvement.

Participating practices will then be supported through coaching by their Regional Managers, to implement practice support plans to help address areas of need, with future resources to help increase capability of your practice.

What happens after the SAVI assessment?

After you submit the assessment, practices will be supported by their Regional Managers, to implement practice support plans to help address areas of need, with future resources planned to help increase the capability of your practice.
