Using Social Network Analysis to Visualise Place‐Based Partnerships for Systems Change in Regional Australia

Recommendations to strengthen partnership networks included supporting unconnected organisations in each region to connect into their partnership network (if desired). Undertaking targeted partner 'knitting' by identifying potential network weavers and connecting partners is recommended. Supporting each region's network to transition across network stages is critical to ensure robust, sustained collaboration, and optimise health outcomes for all community members. SO WHAT?: This study uncovered which organisations were most influential in information dissemination in rural, regional, and remote Australia and has identified less mature regions which require more equitable investment and resource allocation.
